Joe Rogan podcast. Check it out. >> The Joe Rogan Experience. >> Train by day. Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So, you're telling me about the scar you got on your forehead recently? >> Yeah. I uh I got into a bar fight with some some guys were insulting a woman. >> Yeah. To take care of business, right? >> To take care of a bit of business. No, I I fell off a scooter. I fell off a scooter. I was riding around Scottsdale uh feeling great and free because I'd never ridden a scooter before because I always thought that we call them scooter nons in in the UK and and because there was no one around to see me. I just thought, "Oh, this is great. I could do this all the time." But I just immediately fell flat in my face by >> Did you hit something or did >> No, I saw I saw what looked like a ramp. >> Ah, >> but it was a single step down. So, I went flying through the air. And I remember when I landed, there was a weird moment when I landed where I thought, "Oh, that wasn't so bad. I didn't I didn't screw myself up too badly." But then there was a second crunch and I remember thinking, "Oh, I'm dead." >> What was the second crunch? >> I don't know. Some Somehow I fell and I So, you double fell. Yeah. Yeah. >> And you know, I kind of like it because it makes me it makes me look how I feel internally. you know, >> busted up and changed. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's been >> So, would it break your nose? >> No. Oh, it did break my nose. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But, uh, you know, but you know, it's one of those things. Again, as I say, I quite like it. I think it gives me some character. >> It doesn't mess you up. Yeah. >> You're fine. >> Yeah. >> You know, it's just a thing. >> And I might stick with the story about the bar. You know, >> I think you already gave up the goods. The problem with a story like that is I'm always like, is that better to get the [ __ ] beaten out of you like by guys? Like maybe it's better to fall down.
It's different if you're a fighter. I I would imagine you wouldn't be too happy about it. >> Yeah, I'd be I'd be very upset that I got my ass kicked. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Although that's happened many times. Yeah. >> Yeah. Um the broken nose is a problem. Did you get your septum fixed and make sure that it's not all clogged up? >> I didn't. I didn't. I know. Yeah. I'll get them now. >> That is a one that I tell fighters whenever they retire. I'm like, "Please get your nose fixed. It'll change the quality of your life so much." >> Okay. Because if you can't breathe out of your nose, you're you're missing out on a large percentage of cardio, >> right? >> And not just cardio like for athletics, but just everyday life. Like you're not breathing out of your nose. You're not getting enough oxygen. Sure. Like you're probably oxygen depleted. And then you become one of them mouth open dudes. >> You did a you did a whole interview with a guy who who who does that, doesn't he? He he he kind of teaches himself to only breathe through >> Nester. Yes. Yes. He's got a great book called Breathe. For anybody who's fascinated by breathing techniques and how much it can help you, >> you can do a lot with breathing. It's just a thing that no one does because it's like, "Oh, I'll look into that." And then you put it off and it never happens. >> Absolutely. And I got to be careful because that's how old age gets you. It doesn't get you in one go. You don't suddenly become this bent old man. It it it picks away at you. Things like falling off scooters and and you know what I mean, not getting it fixed. Things like that are what pick away at you. >> Uh yeah, you got to be you got to be ahead of it. Yeah, >> you got to be vigilant. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Stay off the heroin, too. I hear that's bad for you as you get old. You don't see a lot of old heroin addicts. >> No. There was a there's a punk poet in the UK named uh John Cooper Clark who is a bit of a genius and uh he was taking it recreationally for years. And he only
gave it up because he said so many people were worried about me. I just couldn't I couldn't deal with it. They were just worried about me. But he was one of these guys, I guess, like Burroughs, William Burroughs, that he was able to just, you know, imple implement it in his life. But >> well, I worked with Well, I worked out with a guy who was a long shoreman. And uh he had this guy that he worked with that would shoot heroin at lunch every day. >> Wow. >> And he was fine. He worked fine on the job. He was totally functional. He would take his hour lunch break. He would go sit in his truck. He'd get a bag from some guy and then he'd sit in his truck and shoot up. >> Wow. >> Yeah. Like real heroin. Like shooting heroin. >> What was his job? >> He was a long shoreman. >> Oh, right. Wow. >> So he worked on the docks. >> Holy cow. You'd think you'd have to have your wits about you. >> Well, some of those long they did different jobs. Like my buddy was a fish filer for a long time. So what would happen is you would get these huge trucks filled with fish and they would just fillet fish all day long. And he was a boxing trainer and so he would rub like Vaseline on your face before you sparred. He just smelled fish cuz he was just he just smelled like fish all the time. He couldn't get it off of him. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> It was just a part of his odor. >> Yeah. >> Forever. >> Right. Right. >> I mean, he cut like thousands of fish a day probably. >> That's like the old dye pits I read in Toronto in uh the job that you didn't want was to work in the dye pits because guys, what they'd have to do is they'd have to get into these like humansized pits filled with dye and wrestle the dye into material. I'm not sure which material it was. >> Oh, Jesus Christ. >> Yeah. So, your whole body would be covered in dye. >> Your you you would look like a kind like the blue man group, you know, except
from the neck down, you know, and and you would always smell of it. And and when and when you took a shower, I read this in a brilliant book called The Skin of a Lion by Michael Andache. >> So, it never comes off. >> No, it does. It what they do is they come in a shower and then in one piece, the whole paint just falls on the ground like a skin. But they never got rid of the smell, you know. So, >> and probably the inside of your bathroom looks like [ __ ] forever, right? It's like dripping. >> No, that all happens at work. That all happens. >> Oh, they do it at work. They shower. >> Yeah. This is in the old days, you know, way way >> bad must that be for you. >> I know. Yeah. >> Your your skin is an organ. >> Yeah. >> So, you're s you're you're making your or your organ dowsed in a chemical all day long. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, these were the jobs we used to have, you know, like what's that thing they say? Hard times make >> hard people. >> Yeah, >> hard people make soft times. >> And we're certainly in the soft times now. >> Well, yeah, we're in soft times make hard people. >> Oh, there we go. >> Or probably they mean make hard times rather. Soft people make hard times. So this is these folks working in it. >> Yeah, but this would be the new version. I think in the old days in Toronto anyway, they used to get into the pits. God, >> you know. So yeah. >> Yeah, man. There's jobs out there that [ __ ] suck. I was watching this video today where this young lady was complaining about her job and that it just consumes her entire life and she doesn't want to do it anymore. And then like people were complaining in the comments that she's lazy. I'm like no, like she hates her job. It's entirely reasonable. It's a little kind of crazy that everybody wants to declare to the whole world what their personal issues are about their opponent for something that you essentially used
to just talk about with friends. >> Yeah, absolutely. And that's part of the problem, isn't it? I mean I mean every time we we make these statements, we make it to a public, so everything becomes political. >> Yes. you know, and and suddenly everyone's, you know, moaning at you because you say you hate your job. It's such a weird >> such a weird time >> time. And and this is one of my things is one of the things I'm obsessed about. By the way, we better tell people who I am. No, >> that's Graham. You have a Well, I found out about you from our talent coordinator at the Mothership, who's my good friend, Adam Eaggan, who loves you to death, and he loves your work and he loves the shows you've created. He's a huge huge fan. So, this was uh all because of Adam. This all came about because of Adam. Sure. >> And um then I heard the story and I was like, "Oh my god, they did that. That guy got dirty. They did him so dirty." >> And it was one of Why don't you tell the story of how it went down so everybody could kind of get it from your words, which I'm sure would be better than me. >> Okay. [ __ ] it up. >> I'm I'm not really good. I've never been good. I spent the last uh you know, most of my life I'm 50 57 now and I spent most of my life forming a sort of uh uh a sort of what's the word? um you know what's that word? Self-deprecating humorous personality. So I would come out and I would make fun of myself. I can't do that anymore because my situation is so bizarre that anything I say that's self-deprecating will just get reported as truth and all sorts of things. You can't make jokes in my situation, you know. It's so weird. >> So let's explain your situation, how it started. >> Well, well, I was a comedy writer. Um, I started writing journalism in in Ireland when I was very young, about 19 years old, and I uh was hanging around with some funny people. We were writing sketches and stuff like that. So, I went over to UK and I got in I I I was just very we we sent our sketches to producers and we just we worked very hard to to get on TV. That succeeded. And then I kept having early success. I had a sitcom called Father Ted, which
was about some Irish priests who were so bad that they'd been banished to a tiny island in the middle of nowhere. Um, that was a huge success, probably my biggest success. Um, then I went on to a sitcom, uh, it crowd Blackbooks was a big one over here. Both all of them I co-wrote or wrote on my own. >> And people have to understand that people for people that are fan of English comedy, like your shows are legendary. These are amazing shows. >> Thank you. That's really kind of you to say. Um, yeah, they're really big. They're big over there, you know. I mean, some of them, some of them travel over here. Blackbox did very well over here. And it crowd, I think, is probably the second most known one. >> I think we're suffering a bit from content fatigue. >> Absolutely. >> It's there's almost too much to choose from. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. There's no real reason to I mean, you know, the only reason I would say to watch them is is, you know, some of them are some of them really really hit the target, you know, >> some of them are great. Watch them because they're great. But I'm just saying that the problem with anybody finding out about a new show today, they're like, "Oh gez, another one I have to pay attention to. How?" >> Yeah. Yeah. And I think that that's got to burst soon. I think we're I mean, AI means the whole who knows what the landscape will be like next year, you know? >> It's weird. >> Yeah, it's really weird. I watched an amazing video that someone put out today of uh a small film that they made just with prompts and it was some um cyberpunk thing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Did you see that? I know. It's It's insane. >> It is the next level. It's so good. It's like I'd watch that movie. >> I mean, and they just made it in a few moments with prompts. >> Yeah. >> Like, it's over. >> Yeah. Except I mean, the the interesting thing though is I think I better get back to my story cuz I cuz >> we'll get to it. Don't worry. This is how we do things. >> But the interesting thing is that um uh I think personally there might be a
revolution in those kind of smaller films that just need a few people. uh you know what's a good example Steven Soderberg's early movies Tarantino with the with Reservoir Dogs right >> you might find people actually returning to human beings and because I don't know I mean maybe it'll I'm sure it will change but at the moment there's a real uncanny valley feeling from all of these AI videos >> well this one has an uncanny valley for sure see if you can find it Jamie uh Cyberpunk somebody released it on X it is I forget which engine use it they used >> you know there's a battle with all these engines you know see who's got the I'm waiting it out, you know. I mean, I mean, it's just like like I just tell me what tools I can use to tell stories and then I'll do them. I I'm >> Well, people are This is it. Go full screen on this. >> Give me some volume. This is so wild. Like that. That woman looks incredibly lifelike, but a little weird right there with the hair. >> Play the music. It's going to get us flagged. >> Okay, we don't need to play the music. The music is not that good anyway. >> It doesn't mean anything. And there's things with the lighting and stuff that don't really make sense. But that's I'm being stupid. I'm being picky, you know? >> No, no, no, no. You're not being picky. It's like we're being accurate. Like if you were an expert and you were assessing whether or not this was real, I'd say right there definitely not real. This is not real. This is artificially generated. >> But that could also be a style, right? Like if you think about Robert Rodriguez when he did Sin City, there's a lot of that that didn't look real, you know? Like you could get weird with filming just to make the experience, you know, more bizarre because you're in this crazy sci-fi thing. You could kind of make it look a little fake and it would be dope. >> I think also when you think of what AI is going to do to voice lines, like if you look at a game like Grand Theft Auto now, you're going to be able to have generative dialogue from from the characters, you know? It's insane. Well, you're also going to have porn where you
have any woman that you want that you desire in your life. Like you could take photos of someone that you know and turn them into someone who's like so attracted to you and just can't wait to have sex with you. Like POV porn from your neighbor. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You know what I'm saying? >> I know. And it's like it's like we're there. We're we're getting there. We're about to head into that. I You've read Jonathan Hate's uh Yes. book about uh I can't remember which one it was. Oh, cuddling of >> cuddling. Yeah. >> Like 2007 was when uh depression in teenage girls went >> Yep. self harm, depression, suicidal ideology, actual suicide went up. All of it went up in com this comparison culture. >> Yeah. But also the iPhone. Yes. >> It was the iPhone that >> 100. But that's what the comparison culture comes from. I mean, that's the real comparison culture because they're comparing themselves to the Kardashians and people with massive amounts of plastic surgery and filters. But now I saw a guy yesterday who said, "We're about to enter a 2007 moment." In in other words, the invention of the iPhone, we're about to have another big change. And and we haven't even spoken about the last one. I mean, that's part of my >> my thing. Let me let me go back into I'll go back into the story, but ba basically I was like a a a very successful comedy writer, probably about as successful as a non-screen comedy writer can get in the UK. >> I won something like six BAFTAs, I think, in the end. Five or six BAFTAs. I'm not being stupid. I just genuinely can't remember. And one of them they didn't give me the plaque for. I must tell you that at some point. But like um but I won them got a standing ovation at the comedy awards. And then the moment I started talking about women's rights, they took everything absolutely everything away from me. Oh my. >> So that's your this is your version of it. That w woman's rights. >> Yes. And this is a version, this is why it gets real weird, you know, because as soon as you say there are some men
that are going to use this, as soon as you say there are some men who we've known forever have been sexual deviants and perverts and psychotic creeps. >> Yeah. >> And you're giving them an out >> Yeah. >> instantaneously you're letting them wear dresses and now they can't be touched. That is a crazy thing to do. >> Yeah. And that doesn't deny the existence of trans people or in any way be transphobic. It's not saying that a person can't choose to be whoever the [ __ ] they essentially feel they are their true self. >> Yeah. >> Well, I don't know how you feel. I'm not I don't want to in restrict you. But as soon as you start allowing men in dresses to get into women's spaces >> and you frame it that way, you say this is about women's rights, then it's chaos. Then there's no rational conversation when it should be totally rational. >> Yeah. with those factors, knowing that some men are creeps, knowing that women are more vulnerable and you're going to allow these potential creeps to have cart blanch and just go into the women's spaces. Like, yeah, that is that you the screaming at me and the calling me a Nazi makes me think I'm over the target. >> Well, you know, I think I could be wrong here. This is a theory. you you obviously know more about it than me, but like I think that when they tried to get you for COVID, I actually think that that was sort of left over from you interviewing Megan Murphy and Abigail Shrier. I think they really hated that you were giving them a platform because when you think of it, no one else did. No one else did. If you look back at Megan Murphy and Abigail Shrier's appearances, and Abigail Shrier wrote the most important book about transitioning, uh, the transitioning of young women, irreversible damage, and she's had a terrible time as well. >> She has had a terrible time and and unfairly because it's a real issue. But this is the thing about a real issue. When real issues come up, the when there's a real like ideological debate going on, like, hey, what is actually really going on? That's when things get the most hostile because when you can't really defend your position
logically, then you start using pjoratives and turning everyone into Nazis and everyone into fascists and you start really [ __ ] the argument up in a way that like if you're a normal person and I'm talking to you, well, I'm going to choose to not talk to you anymore because you're not rational. I don't like talking to Mike. He goes crazy and calls me a Nazi every time we disagree with something. that is logically something that you should be debating whether or not children have the ability to make these decisions at an early age and whether or not there's some kind of social contagion going on. That's what Abigail brought up and I think that's super accurate. >> Yeah. And I mean like you know this I don't want to go too strong too early but let me take an example right the word trans people I see I see people using it all the time as if it has a as if it is a stable category and it's not it's not a stable category at all. it. You know, when most people hear the word trans people, they think transsexuals. But the number, according to, I think, a 2016 study, the number of men who identify as trans and aren't having any surgery at all, is something like 90%. Right? So, you have a whole whole group of people out there who are transvestites. Okay. To give them the actual word that that that refers to their condition, >> used to forever. Yes. >> Until it became a pjorative. >> Well, then it it just disappeared. It was all all the trans transvestites just disappeared. >> I think it's offensive now. I don't think they like it. >> They don't like it because they know that if you use that term, it it reveals the truth. And the truth is that 90% of these men are putting on a dress and expecting to be given every single right that women have. And it's and it's an absolute lie. It's a it's a delusion. It's a mass delusion. It's a cult. It's it's like and I I genuinely don't think it would have existed without the internet. You know, the internet superpowered it and they gave rise to things like you you you see it online, the same repeated phrases over over again. >> Yes. >> Trans women or women. How are you going
to keep how are you going to keep men out? That's one thing they say about about single sex spaces. How are you going to keep men out? Well, you know, we were always able to in the past because most men were decent and weren't trying to get into women's spaces, but suddenly now it's a problem, you know, right? And so basically what we've done is we've created this false kind of civil rights movement. It's not a civil rights movement. It's a male push to undo every single thing that the suffragettes won over 100 years ago. You know, have you ever heard of the urinary leash? Do you know this phrase? >> No. >> The urinary leash is was what was called when when the suffragettes uh before the suffragettes won the right to vote uh and single sex bases and so on. um the women of a household were not able to go too far from their house because there were no public toilets and all the public toilet there were public toilets but they were mixed. So men would would would be in them and they couldn't go into the toilets with the men. So you were you had a urinary leash. You had a leash that kept you close to your home. >> Jesus Christ. >> And that was one of the ways that men were able to exercise such power over women at that time. >> Wow. If you're a longtime listener, you probably heard me talk about ExpressVPN and how great it is at keeping your data private and secure. But that's not all it's good for. Did you know that services like Netflix limit your options based on your location? It's called geoblocking. And the [ __ ] up part is that you, the paying customer, have to pay even more and subscribe to another streaming service to watch these titles. If you use ExpressVPN, though, you can unlock thousands of new shows and movies worldwide without having to spend hundreds of extra dollars a year. ExpressVPN is an app that lets you change your IP address to practically anywhere in the world. Like, if you want to access the entire library of free TV and movies on BBC i Player, just use ExpressVPN to switch your location to the UK. In fact, you can change your location to 105 different countries. It's fast and easy, too. With just one click, you can hop on over to a place
where the content you want isn't restricted. And right now, you can get four extra months free if you tap the banner or go to expressvpn.com/rogan. That's expressvpn.com/rogan. And if you're watching on YouTube, get your four free months by scanning the QR code on screen or by clicking the link in the description. >> And so urinary leash, >> that's what they called it. Yeah. And now we have some um uh some we have members of this so-called civil rights group who are basically just trying to bring back the urinary leash. You know, so it's not safe for women to go into a space because they genuinely don't know if they'll share the space with a man. So, you know, it's uh anyway, I one of the problems with this fight is there's so many aspects to it that it it's really I've I've been fighting it for eight years. >> Did you you So, were you stunned by the real Let's bring it back to the original thing that you did, your original offense to the cult. >> Yes. >> Where they came for you. My original offense was I think sharing a piece by a feminist named Heather Brunal Evans that said exactly what you said just at the be you know a few minutes ago where you said yeah people have have things going on in their head they need to be respected and they need to be helped and then someone wrote back immediately. I I was actually uh I was actually getting uh surgery for cancer at the time and uh someone wrote back and said I wish the cancer had won right >> Jesus. And this was like sharing a very very mild piece that just basically said women deserve rights. Okay, so that reaction I thought, "Holy cow." And and and and then but the strangest thing was all my friends and colleagues, they just they just completely ignored what was happening to me. Uh not a single person stood up to say, "Hey, I know Graeme I know Graeme Lyn and he's not a bigot." And I'd made lots of these people famous, you know. Not a single person stood up for me. And um the next thing that happened was that a a a sex offender, and we found this out later, but a sex offender and kind of serial litigant in the UK, um he reported me to the police, sued me on the same weekend. And uh and the police uh uh came to my
home uh or no, they phoned me that time. Um, and since then I've been basically the police just visit every so often on the orders of these and this guy was a sexy he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy, you know, and basically the police in the UK are working for these men, you know. So, um, >> so he can complain anytime he wants and they just visit you. >> Yeah. >> And there's no repercussions. >> No, not so far. He's been doing it for eight years and and he's had women in prison cells overnight, you know. I mean, it's his it's it's his hobby, you know. So, um this guy was the guy who reported me to police. And then the Guardian reported that as Graeme Lahan uh uh is is warned by police for uh harassing a trans woman. >> Jesus Christ. >> So, now everybody is looking at this and they're thinking, "Oh, a trans woman. Transexual. Poor transsexual." Not a trans again, just a bloke who's put on a dress and is and has taken a piss, you know. So um so that that destroyed my name thanks to the Guardian and then after that I couldn't get anyone to speak to me like you know I mean the Father Ted might be big in the UK but in Ireland it's a bit of a national institution you know it it it allowed the Irish to laugh at the Catholic Church which for years had had a sort of a oppressive effect over the Irish so they weren't able to laugh at it and suddenly Father Ted came out and it was great kind of release to be able to laugh at silly things. We weren't really attacking the church. We were just making silly jokes. Very surreal show, you know. Um and um but but nonetheless, it kind of uh it kind of chipped away at um at the Catholic Church and uh and the Catholic Church just kind of lost a lot of power in in Ireland. So I thought in Ireland it would be at I would be at least understood and and listened out. people would listen listen to me. Listen me out. Is that the phrase? >> Yeah. Hear me out. >> Hear me out. And um and no, like there's a show in Ireland called the Late Late Show. And like I brought out my biography a few years ago uh called Tough Crowd, which I should uh I should plug. And the Late Late Show, which interviews every single person who's
who's who's got a the letter O apostrophe in their name, hasn't interviewed me. And all of the Irish Irish media has just pretend I I've died. They just pretend I've died. Um all because of their guardian artist. >> Not just because of that, because I just wouldn't wouldn't I refuse to back down. They were saying, you know, I was I was constantly being told to apologize. And I hadn't done anything. I would have people people online would would do fake screenshots of me apologizing for sending my pictures of my genitalia to women on a forum. >> Jesus. and they spread that, you know, and and rather than my friends standing up for me, people would approach them on Twitter and say, "Why are you following Graeme Linhan? He's a bigot." And they would just go, "Oh, sorry." And just unfollow me. And so I lost 300,000 400,000 followers in a in in a few months. Uh uh and uh and then we went into COVID and Twitter banned me for two years. So then that became Graeme. You had had was there a specific post or was it just because your reputation? >> Uh, it was a combination of things. I was I was causing more trouble for them by uh I don't know what did I do? I went on to the This is a funny This connects me with Alex Jones. Do you know this? >> No. >> Did Did he Did Adam not send you this? >> No. No. No. >> Oh my god. So what so one of the things I did was I went on an app called her social which is a lesbian app and I did it to show that men were joining these apps and they weren't they would you know some of them would put on a bit of lipstick but most of them were just they would look like you were me you know Jesus Christ. >> Yeah. And they go onto this app and they say that they they put down their pronouns as she her. >> Oh boy. >> And they call themselves lesbians. And if a lesbian complains about this they're booted off the site. Okay. So, I decided I would I would go on and and call myself she, her and go on the site. So, I did it. And then I had some friends who put me in Photoshop and did me in different uh in different outfits. And one of them I looked like my mother in the 60s. She's wearing kind of Jackie Kennedy uh pink beret. And Alex Jones
was interested in the same story. And you might I I think I sent the link to you Jamie, but like Oh, yeah. Here it is. >> Alex Jones. I'll be honest with you. I'm not usually for transvestites and stuff, but this one here, this is a Oh, and you see the symbol they've got here. You You know what that symbol is right there? >> Yeah. >> These symbols all mean something. >> What does that symbol mean? >> I don't know. It doesn't mean anything. >> [ __ ] Alex. >> Yeah. So, I fooled Alex. But like like um >> but the thing is that's not outside of what you could find on there. >> No, absolutely. Crazy. >> But I was recled because of it. Because they only reported about me. They said Graeme Linan went on a lesbian app. >> Oh. >> Pretending to be a woman. >> So then you're a pervert. >> Yeah. Yeah. So and and of course >> Oh, you're a hypocrite. >> Yeah. And none of my arguments are making it to the to the to the mainstream press because >> Oh god, I wish I knew about this earlier. >> I wish I'd sent you my book. >> The scandal never made it to the States except for Adam telling me. >> Uh my scandal? >> Yeah. I mean to like the comedy community in the states, we didn't hear about it. There's almost there's too many of them. And then the the thing was with JK Rowling that was so big >> that they went for the queen. They're trying to take down literally the most successful author of human history. >> Yeah. >> Doesn't Hasn't she sold more copies than the Bible at this point? >> Exactly. >> Is that is that accurate? I think >> I don't know. Probably. I think the Harry Potter books have sold more or are at least similar to the sales of the Bible. >> She just wrote it in her lifetime. Bible's been around for 2,000 years. 2,000 years head start. >> Yeah. And >> that's and they went for her and it went
>> they went for her. And there's like seven I mean when you think about it there's like seven or eight generations of kids have read these books. >> Bestselling series in history. So Harry Potter series alone is exceeding 600 million copies sold worldwide. Yeah, it's crazy. And you know, and and uh and and the and the kids who read her books are the ones trying to counsel her. The kids who read her books aren't aren't taking on board any of the lessons of the books. It's very strange. >> Well, it's hard to be courageous. It's hard to step outside of the narrative. And when there's like a very forceful narrative that's being pushed like like you know what Elon likes to call the woke mind virus like whatever that thing is that has like these very clear rules that you must follow like people get real scared. >> Yeah. >> And they they get real aggressive when they get real scared. They don't want to get cancelled themselves. They become a they become some sort of an enforcer for these ideologies. >> Yeah. and it gets contagious and it turns into some sort of a weird culture war that's akin to a religious war. >> They call it the other side call it a culture war to try and to try and uh to try and make it only that, right? You know, they they they they talk about it as a culture war to try and uh kind of keep it under in in a framework they understand. Yeah. >> But it's not a culture war really. It's like it's it's it's women's lives. You know, you're talking about 51% of the population. You know, they fought for these rights 100 years ago and and now they're they're trying to take them away by stealth. There's a woman there's a nurse in the UK at the moment. Her name is Sandy Peggy and she had a doctor, 6'2 rugby playing doctor who had started identifying as a woman I think in 2022, right? using the women's toilets in an NHS hospital >> every time. She was bothered by this, but she tried not to say anything. Okay. Until finally she had her period and she went in and he was there and he asked her to leave. >> She's now going through the whatever we tribunal. >> Wait, he asked her to leave. >> No, sorry, I put that wrong. She asked
him to leave. Oh, I see. >> And he refused. He took it up as a complaint and now she's going through a work tribunal. Not him. He's not He's not in trouble for going into women's toilets. She's in trouble. And that's the whole of the UK at the moment. >> How did this happen? Let's let's let's You're an intelligent guy and you've had eight years to think about this. >> Yeah. >> What do you think happened where people lost all ability to objectively analyze all the various little things that are at work in this? >> It's partly a problem with the internet. I think I think it's it first of all, the internet spread it. One of the things that happened was uh the the the there was a real supercharged moment uh for trans ideology when Tumblr banned porn because all the transidentified kids from who who were all over Tumblr and and porn was a big thing on Tumblr. >> I remember Tumblr. >> Yeah. Yeah. It was a big kind of visual site like >> I never used it. Did you ever use Tumblr? >> Didn't use it but I know what he's talking about. Yeah. It was big for >> generations. >> Was it a social media thing? >> Yeah. It was big amongst teenage girls of course you know so you've already got a a worry there you know >> um >> oh now I remember it >> okay >> and uh they all came over to Twitter and that's the moment when Twitter became extremely toxic in terms of talking about this issue and so there was a kind of a double thing going on like I remember when I was talking to people I knew about the issue they simply couldn't talk about it was the strangest thing I went >> they get scared >> I know but even in personal one-on-one they can't talk about it. >> Well, it's religion, but it's showing itself in a new form. >> Yes. >> It's religion for secular people. >> It's a religion. >> It's a religion that's terrifying cuz like the consequences of not obeying are you get ostracized and you get attacked and you get deplatformed and debanked
and this and that and >> labeled a bigot. >> I had a West End musical ready to go based on Father Ted. Uh it was like I you know you can't really ever guarantee a hit in in terms of musicals but it was the closest thing to a guaranteed hit you could get. It was my pension. I'd worked on it for about three or four years. They canceled it. We had it up on a feet. We had it up on its feet. We had songs we written. We you know we'd even performed it in front of uh audiences a couple of times just to to to generate excitement and interest. It was ready to go. So, how did so many people go along with it where you can't what how is it that you can make this reasonable argument on this podcast about why you think this is the case and what you think is going on and this is why you stood up against it and why can't there be some sort of an like a logical debate about this?

One of the main reasons is that the language of this movement is so deliberately obscure. Like they did a poll recently. They found out that when people were talking about trans women in in women's sports, a lot of people, I think the majority of people, I'm not sure what the percentages were, but the majority of people thought they were talking about transidentified females in women's sports. >> Oh boy. >> Yeah. And in fact, even now when you say trans women, some people are thinking transmen, you know, and I have to tell I have to sometimes tell people the way to do it is think trans means opposite. So if it's a trans man, it's a woman. If it's a trans woman, it's a man. That's all it means. It just means opposite. And so this language which is is constantly being used. If you see a press report about a, you know, this happens all the time. You see a press report that says something like I saw a great one that said something like woman uh takes cocaine and then kills alsation or something like this. And it's only that we know. It's only that me and the feminists who are fighting this know that it's a man that tell me it's a man. Every other every other person reading that newspaper thinks they're talking about a woman. >> It happens all the time. It's happened here. It's it's happened here when a trans person has done something, they call it a she, but it's a man that did it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's It's very strange. It's >> it's And it's the press. It's the press are uh I mean really the when you say why isn't it possible to be talked about, it's because the press are helping confuse people. You know, the press are actually aiding. Like if you get a pedophile and you report him to be a man, oh sorry, a woman, when he's actually a man, then it's even harder to to step back and go, we shouldn't have done that because you've actually you've actually already committed a terrible sin against journalism, >> right? >> You know, you're not telling the truth.
>> You're not being accurate. Yeah. >> Yeah. And it's just so strange that this is so potent that it allows people to give up those give up their journalistic integrity. >> Yeah. It's it's extraordin but some of them don't even have any for the first in the first place a lot of like one of the things that happened when I was uh started talking about this is I started noticing like there was a magazine in England called Total Film and that was calling me a bigot and all these different and my old magazines that I worked for were calling me a bigot and then you see photographs of the guys and it's always you know they've always got black fingernail polish and they think they're a new kind of human you know it's like you're not a new type of human being if you >> think about the internet has allowed them all group up. >> Yeah. >> Whereas before the internet, there's a very small percentage of people that have autogophilia or that, you know, fall into those categories. And we've always kicked those people out of women's rooms. And this is one of the really important things when you're talking about like trans bigotry. >> Um, >> it's only about men. It's not about trans men. No, no one cares. >> Well, here's the thing, right? >> Trans men going into the men's room. First of all, first of all, right, this that's one of the earliest kind of um smears against the feminists fighting this, who are all in the UK, by the way, left-wing women. Classic left-wing environmental environmentalist. >> Say it. They're cooks. >> No, but >> bunch of old childless cat ladies, as JD Vance calls them. Bunch of cooks. >> No, these are these are the good guys. These are the good guys. And they've been And you know, but they've been smeared as right-wing bigots, you know, even though they spent all their life fighting things like section. >> Oh, I see what you're saying. So the people that were Yeah. >> You know, there's there's different types of feminism and I don't think that's sometimes appreciated in in conservative. >> Well, this Megan Murphy
good friend of mine, she's >> she's a legit feminist, like legit saying, "Hey, this is an infringement on women's spaces and immediately everything same thing as you called it big, but she's in a different space because she's on the internet, you know, like her." >> But she got kicked off of Twitter. She got kicked off of Twitter. >> She was off longer than me. Five years. crazy, >> you know, and and being kicked off of Twitter allowed people to uh further lie about me online until my reputation was completely destroyed. So, I went in for a meeting with the people who produced the Father Ted musical, who also produced Father Ted back in the day. And I walked in and uh everybody I I saw someone who I worked with for years, a runner who had grown up with me as I'd as I'd worked with them on different productions just looking at me like like Elliot Ghoul. Who was it? Elliot. No, what was the guy's name at the end of uh Invasion the Body Snatchers, you know? >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> And I thought, what the hell was that look? And then I went into the office and they offered me £200,000 to walk away from the musical. >> Wow. and they thought they thought I would take it because I was so desperate cuz I had lost every bit of work I had. And um and I thought about it and at one point I said to them, "Well, as long as I can come in and watch the occasional rehearsal just to see if it's going well, you know, and uh and they said, "No, we want a clean break." >> Wow. >> And I had brought them the idea. I had more or less written the whole thing. Uh and they just thought they could they could do that to me. So I thought, "No, I'm not taking part in the any further efforts to blacken my own name." So I said, "No, I'm not doing it." And they won't make the musical now. So how I I know the internet was a part of this, but how did it get so kooky? How did it get so kooky where people are willing to put women in these vulnerable positions because they don't want to offend this entirely tiny very very vocal part of the world >> because as you say because these this tiny very vocal very and you know there's a I want to make this clear
there are a lot of transidentified people who are completely sane >> of course >> who know what sex they are >> of course >> who are not trying to impose themselves in in places where they're not wanted or where they disturb or frighten women. Um, uh, they're great and I'm friends with a lot of them and >> and they've existed forever >> and well, you know, when they say >> but there was always been people like that in the world. >> Sure. But there's but you know when you come to the current iteration of the word trans people, what does it mean then? Like, you know, when you're talking about just transvesticism, >> right? Right. Right. Right. That's where it gets squirly. >> Existed forever. Did they wear each other's furs, you know, in in the caves? It's like it's just clothes. >> Right. But there's been historical tales forever. There was actually a famous one about from the Old West about this guy that was married to this woman and then uh when the woman died, he was out of town and the doctor found out that this woman that he was married to was actually a man. >> Oh, sure. >> And then so then he committed suicide. >> Oh, right. Right. >> Cuz he couldn't let everybody know that he was banging a dude this whole time. >> Yeah. But my point is there's always been people that identified as a woman, but there also has always been perverts. And so to deny the existence of one while pushing the other, it's like, yes, yes, yes, I agree. There have been people that feel like they're in the wrong body and the wrong gender. That's always existed. It's a reality of human civilization. Also, what's that? Yeah, >> that's a guy in a dress with a heart on. Yeah. Like there's autogophilia is a real thing. Men get turned on by dressing up like women. Also, there's certain perverts that don't want to wear a dress, but they know if they do wear a dress, now they can get into the women's room. They're going to do that, too. >> Of course they are. If you put the line here, men will come up to that line. Exactly. If you put it up here, men will come up to that line. >> That you can't do it under the guise of
compassion because you again, it's only about men. >> When you talk about trans men, no one is complaining. >> Let me let me tell you a little let me tell you something a little something about that. Right. As you as you point out, they never talk about trans men. And in fact, when you think about it, who are the famous trans men? Very very few of them. >> The Elliot Page. Elliot Page, a few a few other >> That's the most famous one, right? Because she was a famous actress and then she became Elliot Page. >> Yeah. Well, like she like actually, let me tell you something about Elliot Page's voice. That that'll be of interest. But um but uh uh what was my point going to be? Oh, yeah. Trans men out of the whole trans deal get the worst deal out of it. Trans women, all all a man has to do is wear a dress and he is suddenly a trans woman, right? But transidentified women, they get double masectomies, hysterctomies in their 20s and 30s, you know, they get uh they go, every single young woman on testosterone will go into early menopause. Early menopause brings with it a risk of dementia, uh incontinents, itching, and all sorts of [ __ ] problems you don't want to put up with when you're these young women think they're going to be young men, and they're actually turning into old women. And no one has told them this, Joe. Oh, early menopause. I know it makes a lot of them infertile for life. >> Oh, yeah. You know, it's it's it's one of the things that happens is is when um you take testosterone, your ovaries confuse to uh I'm not sure some other part of your internal organs and that means it it becomes infected and that means it and that's why you see so many trans men having to have hysterctomies, you know. Oh, >> if if if a woman has her breasts removed and then goes on to have a child later on in life, if they're lucky enough not to have been sterilized by the drugs, if they have a child later on in life, when the child cries, the tissue in their breasts will ache because there's always tissue left behind after those operation and it will ache because it wants to feed the baby, but they can't. God, >> you know, no one tells these kids that.
you know, the younger men who are I've I met a dransitioner. His name is Richie Chulip. He told me that there are Oh, actually, no. Let me stick to trans men for a moment. You know, the only time that trans men get famous in the same way that trans women do is if they get pregnant, >> right? >> And then it's like they're on the cover of Time magazine or something because oh my god, a bearded pregnant lady, you know? >> Right. >> And it's it's it's just we've always known it. We've seen fairgrounds with bearded ladies. It's just testosterone. It's just an excess of testosterone. There's nothing magical or or or or great about in fact it's very dangerous for women on testosterone to uh have get pregnant because they could pass on I mean this is how horrible it is. There was a study in the UK published by a gender sociologist I think she is who works for Sheffield University and and the study said this is what's her name Sally Hines and the study said that even if there's a risk of deformity to a baby a a transidentified woman should continue taking testosterone because there was too much of an emphasis on babies born with normative bodies. Oh my god. Oh my god. >> I mean, >> so preventative medication is a denial. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's just insane. >> Preventative medication would be a denial because you you you you you're denying the existence of people with disabilities as if they're not real >> or they're not equal. >> It's something like that. >> That is so crazy. It it basically they can they you know that's another thing with this debate and there's other there's there's well anyway sorry I want to stick to trans men >> but there's that language is so Orwellian. >> Yeah but if you look look up >> how cra but what a crazy way to justify potentially harming a child >> that we're putting too much emphasis on children that aren't harmed >> her her self identity is more important. >> That is so nuts. >> Yeah. And I'm trying I've been trying to tell people that this has been going on for years. That's the second most
shocking story I know in this fight. Uh will I just tell you the first one? >> Sure. >> Okay. You know WPath? >> WPath. What is that? >> WPath is meant to be the world leader for trans healthcare. It is where the whole world gets their orders for how to treat trans people. Okay. It is I I I this is going to blow you away, Joe. So there's a there's a woman named Mia Hughes and she published a piece called uh she published a study called uh the WPath Files. It hasn't been reported on anywhere. No one is talking about it. It's not a it's it it came and went without without causing barely a ripple. She found out that WPath, which briefly tried to make Unuk a gender identity, right? She found out that they were linking to a website called the Unic Archives. And the Unic Archives is mainly a repository of about I don't know, I have it written down, but it's something like 8,000 short stories, something like that. And they're just pornography about people cutting their dicks off. >> WPath linked to this site. Not only that, but something like 40% of the stories are tagged minor. Okay. So, these are the people who are cutting off young men's dicks and they are sharing erotic pornography about cutting off young men's dicks. And and I Jamie has all the links. This may sound that I'm pulling it out of my ass because it's so hard to believe. That's another problem we have. Some of these stories are so hard to believe that >> it's so hard to inform people because you're only going to hear about something like this on a podcast. >> Yeah. Exactly. The the press won't report on it. And when you think about and BBC the BBC deliberately ignores ignores this. The BBC is outrageous on this issue. But um but >> but look at what they did with Jimmy Savile. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. But this is like but this is almost worse than Jimmy Savile because there's more kids being hurt, you know, and and the UK is addicted to ignoring scandals and to hurting, you know, to allowing children to be hurt, you know, what's his name? Kier Starmer, the our the the UK prime minister. When he came in, he said he would end the culture wars. He hasn't ended the
culture wars. He hides from them while ordinary people still have to fight in court. People like me and and and various women who are fighting this nonsense. He's an absolute coward on this issue. But the thing about the WPath files is WPath, this place that's sharing pedophilic castration pornography, is is is the world leader on trans healthcare. Okay? They're the ones that are bowed to on everything in this year and they're the reason why doctors all over the world are giving these uh protocols to kids because there's a thing called the chain of trust that Mia Hughes writes about which is an ear nose and throat specialist has to has to believe that other doctors know what they're doing and they have to believe that the the head of uh any particular discipline knows what they're saying. And what's happening with WPath is they're issuing all this stuff and it's all just crazy nonsense. One one thing in the WPath uh files they found out was there was one letter from I think a one of the doctors associated with WPath and she said I've only ever refused uh a transition a transition diagnosis once and that's when the patient was having a that's because the patient had a a psychotic episode in my office. That's the only reason she didn't say, "Yeah, you're a man. You because she was having a psychotic episode." They would try they they tried to transition a homeless guy. So, when you think about it, he has the surgery and the next day he's back in the streets with the wound that needs to be clean. They tried to transition a homeless guy. That's the WPath files. And B, >> is it their goal to just transition anybody? >> It is. It's purely a kind of ideological insanity. like one of the one of the people who who is involved in this. I can't I her name always jumps out of my head. I can't remember her name, but but she suggested that a baby who fiddles with the buttons on their baby grow is trans because they're they're indicating they don't like this baby crow. They want to wear a male one or whatever, you know. >> Oh my god. >> That woman was involved in the satanic panic scandal. So she's moved from one
insane um uh uh you know mass delusion to another. >> What was the satanic panic scandal? >> Oh, do you not know this? This was like ' 80s I think in the middle of in kind of Midwestern America. Uh there was a lot of um places that suddenly suddenly started believing in in cults that were uh worshiping the devil and having sex with children. And the thing about it was it was before the internet. So it didn't actually spread that far. You know, there were a few towns where it broke out. Do you remember that the three kids who were in jail for years for something they didn't do and they nearly tried to kill them and it was found out and they were just goths, you know, the stuff like that and it didn't break out of middle America because the internet wasn't there. >> But I have to think now if you had if the satanic scandal broke out again, you would certainly know about it because it would be all over the world. >> And this person was involved in this. >> Yeah. Yeah. The same some per it was something to do she was something to do with a military base. Um, I wish I could remember her name. She she she as I say, she did this thing about um uh babies popping their mini their popping the buttons on their thing, you know, which is and >> so this is a crazy person. >> Yeah, this is crazy person. >> So, a crazy person who was a part of this satanic panic is now telling you that a baby fiddling with its buttons is probably trans. >> Yeah. >> And people are listening. >> And people are listening. >> And Wow. And you have a I mean one of the things when you said why has this happened like another thing that's happened is you got to understand there's millions of things going on at the same time like right a lot of very bad men have been empowered. Okay. A lot of very bad men know they can walk into a female only space and at least they may even get a [ __ ] payout if someone complains. >> Right. >> Right. But then there's a lot of, you know, really lovely kids who are growing up and have been told like boys who've been told that boys are evil and they and they've they feel guilty because
they think of women in a sexual way. And you know, they there's there's stories of boys being castrated because of that, you know, they they do not want to associate themselves with what they see as male toxicity, you know. So, uh anyway, oh yeah, and then there's other there's other things. There's like, you know, people like that Grifter uh who said that about the baby grows. There's all sort. It's like a gold rush. If you create a if you create a uh a completely um uh senseless system that has no rules, that anyone can be a woman if they put on a dress and it's just complete freefor all. It's going to be a gold rush, you know. >> Not just that, if you're part of that clan, you get to be very aggressive about defending these ideas. Yeah. >> To the point where you're allowed to hold up pistols and say we shoot turfs. I saw some of that stuff going on in the UK where it's really apparently very hard to get a gun. >> Yeah. >> But shoot turfs. >> Yeah. Oh, that's big. Yeah. I tell you what, a really funny thing as well. You see you see British people holding up posters saying armed armed trans people and it's because they're completely Americanized. You know >> this term for people that don't know what it means, it's transexclusionary uh radical feminism. So you're talking about shooting a woman. So there is a man who identifies as a woman holding a pistol who was about to shoot the real woman and this is openly promoted. >> Yeah. >> There's nothing else like that in the world. Imagine if that was instead of turfs which is just really a woman saying uh a man with a penis shouldn't be allowed to be in the woman's room. That will turn you into a turf and this is a person with a pistol saying shoot turfs. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And that's okay. And also trans transexclusionary is such a lie because these women they accept every woman no matter how they identify. So if a trans man comes in and says I need help or something has happened to me or whatever these groups won't turn them away. They're not transexclusionary male exclusionary. >> A trans man using the women's room.
>> Yeah. >> But that's a weird thing. Like if a trans man was using the woman's room, what would the whim, you know, if we do that's that gets weird, right? >> People know, Joe, these are small tiny women with with unconvincing. >> What about a big giant one? One big Viking lady who gets on the juice. >> I don't know. I I could see how it could be an issue if it's there's there's people that turn into trans men that are very passable as men. >> Sure. Much more so, I think, much more likely than people that are women or male that turn into women. >> Oh, definitely. The the effect of facial hair is such a mesmerizing effect. It's definitely going to change your opinion, >> especially because there's kind of feminine men. >> Yeah. >> And they'll fall into that category. >> But but here's the thing. They also have a bunch of things in common. They're all they're all lower than the average height of men, right? >> Uh the the and also their voices are croak. Have you ever noticed Elliot Page's voice? It's very It's very croaky now. It's like this. It's getting It's a little bit like Kennedy going to go going there. It's not that bad. >> Well, you hear about it from female bodybuilders. >> Little croakiness, right? >> Female bodybuilders. So, the original transmen. >> Oh, okay. Because they were injecting testosterone. >> Listen, female bodybuilders. We knew a long time ago that you could turn a woman into a man. >> Yeah. Well, >> like at least visually. >> Yeah. Sure. >> So, like go give me some female misolympias. I'm going to show you something that's literally not possible. >> Okay. This is not physiologically it's not possible for a woman to get this muscular >> because it's not a woman. It's a science project. So it's a biological science project. And so this is like >> give me give me some crazy ones. >> You know in East Germany the women who were on steroids and so they weren't told and on testosterone.
>> Oh, I'm sure. Show me. Show me one from like the ' 90s. Okay. How about that young lady in the lower right hand corner. Look at that. Look at those muscles, bro. >> Oh, Jesus Christ. >> Bro, that is so crazy. But it does look like I got to say does look feminine in like the hips. >> No. Sure. >> But it looks almost like a superheroes. >> That's That's another thing. Hips don't lie, you know? But but but there's another there's another thing that happens. >> How about that one, Jamie? Scroll back. Scroll up a little. Yeah, that one right there. Right above that one. The one where her hands are on her hips in the middle. The blue one. Yeah. Look at that one. Yeah, >> bro. >> Yeah, >> look at those arms. >> But that's just, you know, that's just that, you know, someone who's doing that for a competition. That's, you know, and not pretending to be a man, >> right? But, but my point is like if that person did identify as a a man and decided to start using the women's room because, you know, of their biological sex, that would freak some women out. >> Yeah. And and to be honest with you, that's a kind of a a gotcha that's often pulled out. Well, in the end, the vast majority of the time, you know, and it's >> there's not a lot of those. >> It's Yeah, exactly. >> Also, it takes not just steroids to get that big. >> Yeah. >> It takes years of being in the gym at steroids for a woman to get that big. >> Well, let me tell you what I was going to tell you about testoster testosterone. >> Croakiness. >> Yeah. The croakiness. Do you know why that is? >> Why? >> Because they have slender women's necks, but their vocal cords have expanded because it's testosterone. >> Oh. And so a lot of trans identified women have these croaky voices, you know, and >> I thought it was just the deepening of the voice because of it's both of those, right?
>> It's probably both, but but like the demoning voice comes because of things like this, you know? >> I don't know what Elliot Page sounds like now. >> Um, there was something else I was going to tell you about this that was really interesting uh about the Oh man, what was it? Sorry, >> trans men. >> It's like eight years of stuff just uh crowding up in my head. Um, oh, it'll come back to me. It'll come back to me. But, um, but yeah, these these girls Oh, I know what it is. Okay, here's another here's another fun fact, right? >> Okay. >> Uh, Grinder, the gay men's dating hookup app. Okay. >> Trans men are going onto that app expecting to be accepted by other by gay men. Okay. And they're not. And again, if the gay men complain, they get thrown off. >> Oh, no. >> Yeah. >> Gays, get a hold of your stuff. Get a hold of your stuff. Don't let them do that to you. >> But here's what's happening on Grinder. Well, here it is. Here's what's happening on Grinder. Straight men are joining Grinder to predate on those women. >> On the transmen women. >> Yeah. Because some of the women some of the women some of the women haven't haven't yet uh the testosterone hasn't taken over. >> Oh, so they're catching them while they're vulnerable. >> They catch them while they're vulnerable. They say, "Hey, hey, I'm a gay Yeah. Hey, I'm a gay man." >> Oh my god. That's so >> and so they're predating on these on these vulnerable, you know, confused young women who've been told that they are literally now gay men. They're strange. So like how what percentage I mean how many numbers are we talking about where this is a a a strategy for getting laid? >> I all I've seen I have seen a forum discussion between two guys who were just kind of sniggering about it amongst themselves. >> Oh my god. It's really it's really it's really I mean you know these kids one of the things that gets me about this is
that these kids are the kids that I was you know they're the strange uh they not well adjusted uh spend a lot of time reading maybe sensitive a lot of girls who are caught up in this are the most emphatic uh imaginative girls you know and and it appeals to them for some reason you know it appeals to them maybe because it feels so they see men as just gliding through life in a way that they can't. And and also they see pornography from from when they're kids and the women in pornography are treated appallingly. And so they are they are saying, "Nope, I don't want any of that." And they're they they think they can just But what they're really doing is they're stepping into a world where they they they have a four times higher chance of having a heart attack if they're taking testosterone than any than normal women. um they are going to die younger, you know, they're going to lose their ability to have children and and no one is talking about it >> and they're happening in clusters. Like that's the most disturbing thing that Abigail brought up. A lot of these girls are diagnosed as autistic. >> Yeah. >> And they wind up and they wind up doing these group clusters of six or seven girls, which statistically speaking is highly highly unlikely to be natural. >> Yeah. and it it leans towards the idea of a social contagion and no one wants to believe it. She also talks about how when you do take testosterone when you're young, it it elevates your your your sense of confidence. It alleviates anxiety. It does a bunch of things for you psychologically. >> It creates more female school shooters. Have you noticed this? >> It has. It does. >> This has been happening recently. A new thing. >> Yeah. And it's like I I what I can never understand is why there don't exist people in the world. I mean there are they are there there's a lot of them there and they're they're but but no one on a high level no very few politicians Trump in fact is probably the only one who will say hang on a sec this is insane nonsense we've got to protect these kids let's cut it out instead there's this constant like oh yeah but you know we have like a funny thing happened when the Supreme Court recently
I mean this took four women Scotland a group in Scotland years to get to get through the court but finally the Supreme Court said No, sex means biological sex. You know, it doesn't, you know, Scotland in law. Yeah. In law, sex means biological sex. And all these places have come back saying it's the most, you know, I don't we don't know how we're going to implement this. It's all very confusing. And they're they're really dragging their heels with it. You know, it's like you were able to do it for a hundred years. How difficult is it to write ladies and gents and put it up in a sign, you know, and enforce it. Put it up in a door and enforce it. you know, they are they they are absolutely hypnotized by this and they're fully convinced that it is just like gay rights and that it's they have to be careful because I mean one of the things that's happened for instance with the police in the UK is that a few years ago uh there was a young kid murdered by some racists, black kid murdered by some racists and I think I think it was called the McFersonen report came out that that described the police as institutionally racist and they they probably were in that way that all cops were racist at one you know, or or at least, you know, very much not right on. But anyway, it was a big scandal. The it had this convulsive effect on the police and then the police just flipped and they started putting on pride colors on their faces and and marching with pride and and really and I genuinely think that that there are police who are complicit. I I in fact I sent a video. Maybe Jamie can pull up, but I sent a a video of the police actually walking away from a group of kettled women. Trans activists had kettled them in this small space. Their back was up against a railing and there was a huge crowd of of Antifa type guys screaming at these women and about four or five police keeping the Antifa guys from the women. And I I arrived and I saw them walking away. I saw about six, seven policemen walking away from it, you know, I was like, what the hell's going on? So, I think British police are using trans activists to scare women out of fighting for their rights because they know that if women uh if women uh gather to meet trans activists will definitely be there to uh hurt them or or harass them.
>> You really think that? You don't think that it's just they're scared of the the trans activists? No, because they've been advised for years by Stonewall, which was the big gay rights organization in the UK, that these women are bigots and that these women are actually far right. And you know, and the police believe this stuff because they've had it as training for years. >> So that their training is that these women that are fighting for women's rights, these women are bigots and you should let the Antifa people have atom. >> Oh, they wouldn't say that officially, but I believe that's what's happening. I believe they're basically using Antifa to control these women. >> The you know, the the flip side of this is ugly. When people rise up against something like this, it gets real ugly and real violent. And that's what scares me the most. >> Oh, one of the things we're we're we're trying to head off is the backlash against transsexuals and gay people who had nothing to do with this, you know, >> gay people in particular. There's a lot of my friends that are gay that do not like any of this movement. >> Yeah. >> They don't do not like any of it. >> It's a homophobic movement. Have you ever heard of anything as more homophobic than a a lesbian with a penis? It's homophobia. That's all it is. And and for some reason, people have just been held in this kind of, >> you know, tractor beam where they're just kind of like going along with it and they're not questioning it. I guess they're worried that what happened to people like me will happen to them. But there's increasingly less of an excuse now. I mean, ju John Oliver and John Stewart both said on their programs that puberty blockers were reversible. That was a dangerous lie. >> Well, I don't understand John Stewart saying that. I I have to assume that John Stewart was misinformed. >> Everyone's misinformed because >> but I have to assume that John didn't look into this cuz he's super reasonable and very intelligent. >> Absolutely. And that's why crushing when someone like that says something like this. It is simply not true that pub blockers are >> reversed. has a direct impact on the
development of the child's penis to the point where they might not everin brain and causes strokes. Yeah. >> It is literally chemical castration that they used to give to sex predators. >> That's >> that's what it is. That's what it is. >> It's even it's even a form of the drug. A few years ago they wanted to put Allan Turing on a bank note in the UK and now they're telling gay they're putting gay kids on the same same drugs that cast chemically castrated him. >> Yes. you know, and led him to commit suicide. Right. >> Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. >> The guy who invented the test to figure out whether or not artificial intelligence had reached sensience. >> Oh, I didn't Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I always forget about that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think of it more as the enigma guy, you know? >> I mean, but imagine that like what a crazy contribution and a footnote in history that we're currently wrestling with. >> Like we're grappling right now with the idea that these things are already sentient. The thing is we're grappling with things that we shouldn't be grappling with when when we're actually on the cusp of what seems to me with AI to be a huge moment in human evolution. Right. Yeah. >> We're about to move into like it's I always think of it like the the the the thing in Alien that Sigourney Weaver uh >> right >> with the with the like the JCB. >> Exactly. I think that's what AI is for humanity. we're going to be able to step into these things and be much more powerful than we used to be. We need >> or completely irrelevant and we fade off because we're not breeding anymore anyway. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> You know, I mean, you think about the amount of people that are having children now, especially in developed parts of the world, it's drops off. It always drops off, but like Japan is at the the risk of population collapse. South Korea is at the risk of population collapse. Then you factor in mic microplastics which significantly affect child's reproductive systems when they're in in the uterus. >> Okay.
>> Um also uh like lower sperm counts. You look at like the invention of plastics and the start the use of plastics and then the correlation the giant dip in sperm counts. >> Wow. >> We talked about it yesterday in the podcast. There's a woman Dr. Shana Swan from Harvard who wrote a book on this about phalates and every person carries like literally a [ __ ] spoon like a like a you like a picnic spoon like plastic picnic spoon of microplastics in their brain. >> Yeah. So, and this stuff is neutering humans. It's also causing there I mean whether it's causing it or where there's a correlation. So, there's a correlation in a larger number of miscarriages. Yeah. For women and they think a lot of this has to do with environmental toxins. Okay. And a lot of it has to do with microplastics. So all this is moving us into this genderless direction. We're going to stop breeding anyway at the same time where artificial intelligence becomes the new alpha life form on Earth. >> Yeah. But but but again >> we just stop breed off. We just stop breeding. >> But one of the things I mean we we I I just feel like there there's all these there are all these uh tests ahead of humanity right from the things you've just been talking about and all sorts of other things geopolitical and so on. Why are we wasting time concentrating on this imaginary thing? It's not a real problem. It is it is a it it is a mass delusion spread by the internet. >> Well, it's a real problem in that men are always a real problem. >> Sure. But like my point is >> most robberies, most murders, most car accidents, most uh high-speed car chases, most assault on police officers, >> most everything. >> Absolutely. and and and we have to deal with the reality of of life if we're going to take this major evolutionary step as human beings with AI because if we if we continue ignoring the insanity that the internet has has has brought about with this movement uh we're just going to waltse right into the next one you know if we don't take time to say okay what just happened >> right >> why did it happen how can we make sure
it doesn't happen again because it seems to me now that with the trans thing the human race with The internet is is hugely vulnerable to these kinds of what you might call them, sense destroying viruses, whatever you might call them. I don't know. There should be a word for what what the trans movement is, but I think we're so vulnerable to it that we have to start developing um uh antibodies. You know, >> I agree with you because I do think that something else could come from a different direction. Right? So, here's what we saw in our lifetime. the same kind of thinking, the same kind of bizarre violent group thinking. We saw it from CO. We saw people that turned on their neighbors that were skeptical about the vaccine or people that didn't want to take it. They were called murderers and yeah, >> plague rats and this this craziness where people were ostracized from social circles because they weren't vaccinated. >> Yeah. >> And even though in hindsight they were directionally correct, right? No one. There's been no course correction, but there was this othering of people for a very simple thing. Like you decide like if that [ __ ] thing works and you take it, why are you mad at me if I don't take it? If it works, that means you're not going to get co no matter what [ __ ] happens to me, right? >> Yeah. >> So, it was weird and illogical, just like the trans thing, but violent. And people were terrified because your life was in danger. Yeah. >> So, you saw the most vile reactions from older populations who were calling for people to be quarantined, round up in camps, take away their livelihood, take away their children. You were hearing it from these old terrified people with fragile health and they all got really violent about it online. They got really, really extreme in their positions on this. >> Yeah. Yeah. I didn't notice that stuff so much. >> Oh, in America it was nuts. Yeah. In America, it was wild. And you know, and it was pushed by these multimedia corporations, these huge news corporations. It was pushed by them. >> It was all nonsense and propaganda, including Rolling Stone and CNN. And
Rolling Stone had a whole article that was 100% [ __ ] about people who were waiting in line at the emergency room for gunshot wounds because there were so many people that were getting treated for horse dewormer cuz they took too much ivormectin. >> Wow. >> Total fabrication with a stock photograph of people waiting in line in August in Oklahoma. This is supposed to be taking place. a stock photograph of people wearing winter coats outside in line because they're waiting for the [ __ ] flu shot. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> So, it's a lie. It's a lie. And a And so, there's this this willingness to lie with no retractions on all the major television networks. Everybody was like pushing this one narrative and everyone at home was locked down. You couldn't go to work. You couldn't go to school. And everyone was terrified because this had never happened before. Yeah. >> And we got to see how quickly people who are cowards just attack the others who try to keep themselves safe. It got very >> ratlike. I think it's I think it's we live in a village now really when you think about it. And and I often describe myself as a victim of village gossip on a global scale, you know. >> That's it. That's it. >> Yeah. >> You know, but it's written down so it seems a lot more real. >> Yeah. That's the I mean, when the when the Bible uh when when when the printing press uh appeared, there was a hundred years of chaos as as all these sects and everyone who had a crazy idea about the Bible that they'd had themselves. Oh, on the seventh page, it says this on line seven and that would become a religion, right? And then for 100 years, these religions were fighting it out. There was there was pograms and and massacres and and and Protestantism was formed because of it. We we we're we're having a similar moment, right? >> Yes. with the internet. >> Yeah. >> Because suddenly every every idiot with an opinion is putting it out there. Some of them are great opinions, some of them are terrible opinions, but there's no difference. And and one thing I've noticed with the left is that with bad
opinions, all they do is they repeat certain lines over and over again, you know, and you hear these things come up over and over. That's why I reacted slightly earlier because trans women have always been with us. is one is one that you hear a lot, you know, but you also hear uh >> you know, just things designed to shut down the conversation, you know, and you see them over and over again. They're repeated over and over again. Whatever you think of the Gaza situation at the moment, I noticed that it's the same thing, genocide, over and over and over again. it it in every tweet they mention the word genocide, you know, and and I I don't happen to think it is, but like by the end of it, if you were to stand up against that and say something against that, it's a difficult thing because you suddenly look like you're against genocide. >> What What is the measure of genocide? Like when does it become genocide? Like when you're starving people, when you're bombing indiscriminately, when you've destroyed most of the buildings, when you've killed who knows how many tens of thousands of women and children. >> Well, do do we want to get into this? >> Yeah. I mean, it's a we got into it a little bit. >> I I I just think that, you know, Hamas is I I agree with Coleman Hughes, I think, who was on your show, where he says that, you know, Hamas, they've built like a huge network of tunnels underneath people's houses. Um, they put their headquarters in civilian buildings. It's it's a form of guerrilla warfare that I don't think should be allowed to continue. And I and I support Israel in defeating Hamas. Is that >> Is there another way to do it other than to blow up everybody? >> Is there a way to do it without starving the innocent people? >> I I I'm you know, again, I just don't know how much of this is Hamas, you know, comes from Hamas. I don't know how much of it is true. I would suggest that all these conversations wait until we find finally find out exactly what's what's happened. You know, at the moment it's it's fog of war stuff, you know, but I don't want to get into a big debate. >> Do you know uh have you ever heard of Eric Prince's idea? Do you know Eric
Prince? Do you know who he is? >> Was he the Blackwater guy? Yeah. >> He had an idea that apparently he floated by, but they rejected. He said instead of destroying everything like that, you could just flood the tunnel system with the seawater. >> Oh, well, yeah, great. I mean, >> that was his idea. He's like you could flush them all right out. like that they're very vulnerable. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And I don't know whether or not I'm, you know, just I heard him speak of this. I believe it was on the Shawn Ryan show. I might be incorrect. He spoke about it on some show. >> Uh I don't know if it would work. I don't know why they would reject it. >> Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. But as I say, I don't really want to go into it because it's such a again it's a very very uh heated debate and I've only got room for one. >> I understand what you're saying. You know what I mean? >> I understand what you're saying. >> Yeah. Um, when we were when when you're dealing with all this, you you lost your entire income. You lost everything. You lost your standing in the television world. Yeah. >> You lost a lot of your friends. >> All my friends. >> All No one stuck with you. >> Uh, two people, uh, Jonathan Ross and Richard Ieti. Everyone else, all the people I, you know, given jobs to, made famous. >> Well, shout out to those two soldiers for sure. >> Oh, they're great. Richard's great. >> It's hard. It's hard to when someone close to you gets canceled and you're worried about catching strays. >> Yeah. Yeah. Actually, I should say there are a few people that that have stood by me. Lisa Evans, wonderful woman who produced Father Ted and a few other people. She's a she's a big feminist. Um uh so I shouldn't be too but but in terms of my actual old life, everyone just dumped me, you know. >> Crazy. >> Yeah. >> That's the beautiful thing about the comedy community. Like we expect cancellations. You can cancel like you guys are so interesting. I compare you guys to the
birds that feed in between the teeth of crocodiles. You know, you guys dance so close to being to being cancelled, but you don't you don't it doesn't seem to touch you. And it's it's always great to see. I I don't know if you saw Did you see the trigonometry interview with uh Kill Tony? Tony uh Hinchcliffe? >> I did not. >> You got to watch that. >> Tony's my boy though. He's my best friend. >> So presumably he told you about that Chinese incident. >> Oh, I was there. I was there for the whole thing. I was there for the whole thing. >> Mindblowing. >> I was there for the whole thing. What saved Tony was that he had a recording of the entire set, including the other guys set. >> That's right. >> And that's what saved him. And And then it became a I mean, but Tony was going through it, man. It was hard. It was hard to watch a friend go through it like that. >> Yeah. >> Uh but, you know, he took like a week off, maybe two weeks off, and then uh I brought him on the road with me in Utah. We did Salt Lake uh City, which is uh an awesome place. Wise guys in Salt Lake City. Shout out. It's one of the best clubs in the world. So, we did this club and uh the audience had no idea who was opening for me. It's just me, right? And when they announced Tony Hinchcliffe's name, everybody went crazy. >> Oh, yeah. >> It was awesome. It was awesome. People stood up, they clapped, they cheered, >> and he went up and murdered. He had so much material on that cancellation. It was so good. He it was like an amazing moment for him because like his comedy actually jumped up a notch. He actually got funnier because of it. He like tightened his bits up. He got more aggressive with it. He was >> like he got really dialed in. He was worried his whole world was going away. >> Same with Shane. I mean Shane Shane came up on top of that so brilliantly. It's it's like >> Exactly. >> Yeah. I I I just love I love people who But for some reason I just couldn't do it. I think because
>> you didn't have a comedy community like a stand-up community. My job required a cast and a crew and producers and agents and they the UK art sector is completely captured, you know. >> Well, it's the same as America. I mean, America is it's a giant issue with leftwing politics in Hollywood. Yeah. >> You're either on the team or you're outside. And if you're outside that you don't work. The only one who works is Chris Pratt. >> Chris Pratt is like openly Christian, but he's such a nice guy. You cannot fault him. >> Sure. >> He's such a good guy. You can't say him being a Christian is an issue. >> So strange that they're coming after Christians, it's like it's like, you know, I >> real Christians are the nicest [ __ ] people you'll ever meet. >> Exactly. Yeah. >> They really follow Jesus's principles. They're like, if you want to use it as a method, like as a if you want results, like like their results are pretty [ __ ] solid, man. Real Christians really follow it. They're >> some of the nicest people. >> And also, you know, you can disagree with them and and not fall out with them, >> right? Clint Eastwood's grandfathered in because he's old as [ __ ] Like they still let him make movies. >> Who? >> Clint Eastwood. >> Oh, Clint. Yeah. >> Jesus, how dare you. Clint. >> I like his late stage though. His like his late stage of movies. Yeah. Like like those kind of documentary like about ordinary people who get caught up in things. He did one Richard Lewis, I think it was called. That was brilliant about security man who found an explosive uh >> device at a gig. >> And because he pointed it out, they charged him with it. They >> I remember that guy. Yeah. That guy got smeared all over the news. We all thought that he was the guy who bombed. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We thought he was the bomber. >> In the film, he said he had one day of being a hero and then it flipped to the bomber. You know,
>> that's a that's it's so scary when things like that happen to people because, you know, but Clint, he had this one film to me that is like the answer to the spaghetti westerns and that's Unforgiven. I think Unforgiven. I think it's the best western of all time because I think it's probably the most accurate about how [ __ ] up life was back then. >> Have you ever read Larry McMerry? >> No. >> He's a Texan author. You got to read Lonesome Dove. I I >> Oh, I started Lonesome Dove, but I got distracted. >> There's There's something that happens about page 100 and you will not be able to put it down after that. Spoiler alert. >> Yeah. But like hang in there. But but those books, those lonesome book uh the Lonesome book series by Lar Murray, I watched every western differently after that because I suddenly realized what these people how brave these settlers were. >> Oh, they were crazy. >> And and and also he writes about Indians and and or sorry, Native Americans brilliantly just as well as he writes about everyone else, you know. And oh, they're great books. They're great books. You just cannot put them down. You 800 pages. You'd read them in a in a week, you Well, I I went through a whole book series of Wild West books that I read um after I read uh Empire of the Summer Moon. >> Oh, yeah. What would >> No, not Empire of Summer Moon. >> No, I know which one you're talking about. You're talking about the Churro. Uh the the Damn it. >> How am I saying that wrong? >> Is it Cheyenne? >> Uh no. >> What were they? Oh, I think I read a bit of >> Comanches. >> Comanches. That's right. But what is the uh >> um >> What's that? >> That's it. >> It is Empire. Empire of the Sun. Yeah. >> Why am I Oh, I'm confusing it with that Leonardo DiCaprio movie >> movie afterwards. >> Right, right, right. But have they made
Empire of the Summer Moon already? >> They're working on it, I believe. >> Yeah. No, the I was thinking of the Leonardo. I was right. So, Empire of the Summer Moon, which is all about the Comanches and all about the settlers and all about people that got slaughtered and you realize like how insane life was like. And I think Eastwood was the that was the closest I think to really getting it cuz I think >> he the I love those old spaghetti westerners, don't get me wrong, but they were this kind of like >> bullshitty 1970s version of the Wild West and Clint would never got shot and you know. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, there's more grit in in in in that one. >> And it was real. It was like I believe it. I believe that the sheriff was a coward. >> Also, there's an interesting thing in it. You might if you watch it again, you might notice, but but they all know each other. It's so weird. They all go, "Do you know William Dansy or whatever?" And they're going, "Yeah, yeah, I met him." And because it's like even though they're all spread out, they all know each other. So, it's I bet you that's based on research, you know. >> I bet it is as well. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Well, they had to know each other. Few [ __ ] people and there's no laws. >> It's You have to know who the dangerous people are. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> William Money. >> Yeah, that was a great movie. Oh, [ __ ] >> No, I love Clint. He's He's >> But he's grandfathered in as a conservative. John Voit is kind of on the outs, but he was, you know, >> but you know, I remember I even kind of was worried about you in the early days. Like I used to be a a bit of a a bit of a left-wing [ __ ] myself. I you know, I I I famous one of the most famous things I did was do you remember the uh the saluting pug guy who who got his Yeah. Well, I I kind of joined in on all that and I'm deeply ashamed of it and I actually apologized to him at his uh I did a video and apologized at a roast uh that he did. >> Well, good for you >> because like, you know, I just I I but I
completely believe this is what I found out. I completely believed he was a fascist because that's what every publication was telling me, right? And I was trusting all these people who eventually came out against me. And and now I look back at it and think I was just lied to consistently for all these years. And it's meant that I have to readress things that I've spent the last 25 years thinking about like but but I realize now I wasn't really thinking deeply enough about them like climate change. I was always so terrified of climate change, you know. >> Yeah. And and you know, I've had about 30 years being terrified about climate change and nothing's happening. >> Well, go back and watch that stupid [ __ ] movie that Al Gore made. >> Yeah. >> That movie is so wrong in terms of his predictions. It's, you know, in the benefits of hindsight, looking back, >> I was told 2019 we'd all be underwater, you know. >> Well, it's not just that. Have you ever seen one of those aerial timelapse photos of the coast? No. Yeah. [ __ ] doesn't move. Doesn't move since the 1980s. It's not going nowhere. The reality is the [ __ ] Earth's climate has never been static. It's never been flat. It's never been super predictable. It's always gone up and down. >> Yeah. >> And the reality of our life is, yeah, we pollute and it's terrible and we should definitely figure out better solutions. The reality is all that stuff that we're putting in the air in terms of carbon dioxide, that is an issue, but also particulates, also brake dust, also t when your tires wear out, where do you think they go? Yeah, >> they go in the [ __ ] air. >> Like that brilliant Bill Burr routine. He says, when you throw away your um your your Apple charger, you know, do you think it just mysteriously disappears, >> you know? No, it ends up a [ __ ] Yeah. Or or a shark starts wearing it as a scarf, you know? That's what it that's what it is, you know. >> Well, there's a lot of birds who eat bottle caps. That's a real problem. You ever seen those terrifying photos of dead birds with stomach like they're rotted out and you see their stomach in
full of bottle caps? >> No. >> Yeah. It's a It's a real issue. >> Yeah. >> It's a real That's our problem. Our problem is pollution. Our problem is waste. Our problem is destroying of rivers and the ocean and oil spills. These are all problems. climate change, this idea, the problem with it has become politicized and it's become a thing that you have to support just like you have to support trans rights, just have you have to support this or that or whatever the [ __ ] get vaccinated. It's all the same [ __ ] >> It's never been more difficult or more it's never been made more frightening to do your own thinking to actually say it is now dangerous thing to do. >> Well, you're literally told on mainstream news to not do it. which is a crazy thing to tell people in the age of whether you have more access to reality and truth than ever historically by far with human beings. >> Don't do it. >> Yeah. >> Don't use it. Don't utilize it. Don't utilize the greatest tool that mankind has ever devised for figuring out what the [ __ ] is going on. Don't do it. And you see the the kind of mainstream news people in the UK. There's people like who have podcasts like Alistister Campbell and Rory Stewart and and these ex news readers who are on this program called the news agents and their job is to deliberately not know things, right? It's almost like I mean I think I think you got the same thing over here with the with with the um with CNN and stuff. You know, their job is to just express confusion about it. why is everything so and and they cannot actually address the issues because if they address the issues they will start saying things that will get them cancelled you know and so what you have is a kind of a chewing gum for for uh information in the UK it's not real it's not actually information it's just it's just these middle class people very privileged people gabbing away they all think there's no problem with uh men and women's spaces because they they will never have to use a shelter They will never have to use a rape crisis center, God willing. You know, so these these people who actually are affected by
these issues are the last thing on their minds. They are very comfortable middle class people who do not give a damn about anyone outside of their >> There's also no benefit to rocking the boat. >> Yeah. >> If you you have to realize like what those people are are mouthpieces. You're just a mouthpiece for an organization who occasionally, unfortunately for the network, gets to express their true opinions on things and usually you find out they're [ __ ] dumb. Yeah. Right. That happens all the time. >> Yeah. >> And the really smart ones wind up leaving and going somewhere else and starting podcasts. >> But but some of some of them it's not their fault. Like the the the thing I was saying earlier about the chain of trust among doctors, the W path breaking the chain of trust to such an extent is has affected the whole world, you know. So now we can't trust our news readaders to tell us the truth. They're telling us a man attacked a man attacking people when it was really a woman. We can't trust uh doctors because doctors are are are telling these incredibly damaging things to kids. Kid comes in with a with depression. Oh, you're trans. I'll tell you, here's a story. Oh god, this this is a story that really illustrates the problem. Um and and and it's another problem with the press as well, but in New Zealand, there was a young girl. She was uh 16 years old I believe and she uh was autistic and anorexic and her parents were first generation I think uh immigrants and had no idea what was going on right she was suddenly saying she was a boy they they didn't know what what she was talking about you know um and so they didn't uh they didn't go with it and she left home right encouraged by what they call a glitter family which is a bunch of gay or trans identified people who love bomb her and tell her that she needs to get rid of her parents because her parents are bigots. So she moves in with this glitter family. They can't deal with her because she's autistic. So within a couple of months she's gone from the house. There's nowhere to live. Can't go back home. Has told her parents she's big. They're bigots. The New Zealand government, they meet her. They don't
diagnose her as autistic or as anorexic. They diagnose her as trans. They give her a hotel room. She died in that hotel room. She starved to death in that hotel room because the New Zealand government called her trans and forgot about a young autistic anorexic 16-year-old girl. And and at the end of it, she was just about making up with her parents. And she phoned her mother. Oh, sorry. Excuse me. That that would go down well. Uh she phoned her mother um uh a few times and they were just about to make it up. And then she got a call from police and she found out that the daughter had been in the hotel right around the corner from where she lived. So she left the house, went up into the room and took a photograph of her daughter dead. Um, no one would tell the story. It's taken a year and a half to get this story out in New Zealand media because because no one cares. No one cares or it's not that no one cares. It's a trans story. So you just can't get it out. And in every country, there's always one or two activists who do everything they can. Like the journalist and or the the people involved with that story were attacked by uh I can't remember his name, but there's an activist over there, a very vicious activist, as there is in Ireland and the UK and and a few different places. And they're always the parents of transidentified kids. You know, the the worst people, the worst activists, the most the most violent activists. Helen Joyce is a brilliant Irish writer and she pointed this out. They have done the worst thing that you can do to your kids. They have they have confused their kids and sometimes they have actually encouraged their kids to take these hormones and to take and to go through these procedures to have a to to be castrated to have a double masectomy. They will never be able to accept what they've done to their kids. And I know there was one Irish activist who's been planning on transing his kid for at least 12 years, right? And now the kid is grown up. Of course, the kid is is is is is thinks they're a man because they've lived with this homophobic parent, you know, who basically doesn't like seeing gender non-conforming uh behaviors in their child. So, they say, "Oh, he's a woman or he's m or she's a man, you
know." So, so these are the people who are, you know, that that guy in New Zealand, he he even when the story came out, he still tried to attack the people telling it. still try. He he he he put me in as some sort of conspiracy of creating a bigger deal about it than it needed to be. A young girl who died in a hotel room because they called her trans and just forgot about her, you know, like how how how did it take a year and a half for New Zealand media to report on that in a country that small, you know? And there's so many stories like this. Well, I think the dam is breaking because I think there's been a lot of people that are fed up and they realize that that there's irreversible harm being caused to people that are being tricked. There's these stories of the dransitioners >> and them being attacked online for telling their story, which is true. >> Yeah. >> It's a true story about them being confused and being told that they were trans and going through these procedures and deeply regretting it. >> Yeah. and then going back to their biological sex, they get destroyed online. >> They get treated worse than anyone else, you know, because they are living proof that it's not uh innate. >> It makes no sense. There's no compassion. There's no kindness. >> And I'll tell you what else. >> And also, I'll tell you what else. I have a on my I have an iPhone, right? And whenever I write the word drtansitioners on my iPhone, which I have caused to do quite a lot, uh it underlines it in red because it will not recognize the word exists. But is it because it doesn't know the word yet? >> Yeah, but how long? >> Because it does it with [ __ ] too. >> Yeah, but dransitioners isn't a dirty word. >> Actually, it doesn't do it with [ __ ] anymore, right? >> But they it used to >> Well, dransitioners is a dirtier word. >> Let me see if it works in America. Do you have an American iPhone? >> No. I'd be curious. >> I'm going to I'm going to text. >> But if people like want to go away and and try it, try writing dransitioners and see if it underlines it. But um but
you know and and but my point is that one of the >> underlined it. >> Yeah, >> [ __ ] >> There you go. >> Let's see what if it gives me some uh suggestions. No replacement found. You have I have no idea what you're talking about. >> Exactly. >> It's playing dumb. >> And that's what Wikipedia is the same. Wikipedia is moderated by trans activists. >> But that's kind of crazy. >> Yeah. >> I wish I had my Android phone here. I would want to check that. >> Yeah, that'd be interesting. Um, but Wikipedia has been there was a war within Wikipedia, I believe, where all the trans uh uh trans ally moderators won. And now Wikipedia, my Wikipedia page has basically been vandalized for years, you know, and and if I complain to press authority that they call me anti-trans, they go, "Well, it says it on your Wikipedia." >> And we've and we've tried to change it, but it reverts back within 15 minutes every time. So, if anyone if anyone would like to do a class action suit against Wikipedia, I'd love to be involved if uh if that ever >> just for the record, [ __ ] doesn't show up with a red line. >> Ah, okay. There you go. >> The transitioner does. [ __ ] does not. >> There you go. There you go. I wonder which is it the actual but but my point actually, sorry, the reason I bring it up is because a lot of tech guys are tech because they're uh autistic, right? and they a lot of coders are are you know you spend all your time writing in the dark and coding stuff your interests go that way. So the trans thing is has come up a lot as well from kind of manipulation by these tech uh uh guys who are who a lot of whom identify as trans. So we're living in a world now where like the underlying dransitioner they are controlling what we think is normal and what we think is unusual. So to so to everyone now we write down dransitioner, you doubt yourself because there's a red line underneath it. Oh, it mustn't be a real word or it's d and then a space maybe or whatever. But no,
you're right. It's just these [ __ ] tech guys are trying to confuse you, keep you unbalanced, you know, so that you can't discuss this issue. >> That is a weird one because when did dransitioner first start being used? When did the term >> I don't know. Oh, I mean, you know, >> the term is clearly when you they you only use it with sex, >> right? You you're only using it with gender, whatever you want to say, sex or gender. >> That's the only dransition transitioning anything from some something to something else. That's not ever done before. >> And I don't remember ever using that term dransitioner in any other way. >> That's interesting. Possibly because, you know, this the trans thing is not, as I say, it's not real. It's an artificial human invented thing. >> Yes. And it kind of implies regret. >> Yeah. >> The dransitioner stories are never happy ones. >> You know, the American Southern Law Center, if you ever heard of them, they have named Clo Cole, you know Cole, the dransitioner. She's doing brilliant work. >> Uh they've named her as a as a a far right simply because she's going around telling her story. >> Oh, I think I'm far right, too. They say I'm far right, too. >> Oh, they say everyone's far right. If you're if you're if you're if you say anything that diverts from what a bunch of lunatics online have agreed is the truth, then you're far right. >> Yeah. >> You know, >> yeah, you can't you're everyone's politically homeless. We have to realize that. Start a shelter. >> Yeah. >> Call it the center. >> But I don't think I don't think the systems we have are going to are going to be are going to last much longer. I think AI is going to change everything. >> I think you're right. And but I think reluctantly because there's people that are in control of the system right now that are extracting enormous amounts of money, >> you know, with just fill in the blank of
all the different special interests that have a hand in how much money gets distributed this way and that way. There's so much of that that really fuels the decisions that are being made in this country. It's not really the will of the people. It's not really trying to make America great again. >> I mean, yeah, it is. But also, if you really wanted to do it, you wouldn't do it this way. >> Yeah. >> If that's what your main goal was, if your main goal was to make money and give the illusion that we're fixing all the problems that America has while fixing some of them, well, then that's what you're doing. Cuz that's what your goal seems to be. Your goal is not The real goal should be like letting AI have a look at everything. Like, what's the best way to distribute all these resources and is it really fair that this corporation gets to pollute the [ __ ] ocean? like let's figure out what what's what's the right way to do this. >> Yeah. >> And that's going to be horrifying for anybody in any position of power. >> It's like he's it's like people say about your show, you know, the reason Camala wouldn't wouldn't didn't come on. It's simply because there there's a certain breed of of politician who are I think dying out who are the kind of politicians that couldn't survive three hours talking to you, you know, >> right? >> And and they I don't think they've long left because things like this are the way that people get their information now. So, you know, you you get these like and it's the only reason why people Oh, I've got a good thing to tell you about AOC as well. Um uh it's the only reason why people like uh uh AOC and and people like this are able to continue spouting nonsense. It's because they don't go on shows like this. Here's an interesting thing. At one point uh in my I still haven't told you half the things I was going to tell you, but at one point a streamer did a um I I managed to take some money. I managed to stop the the the charity Mermaids from getting uh uh funding from the National Lottery in the UK. Mermaids used to be a good organization. Dysphoria was very rare and they treated
it as you should, right? With things like affirmation as a final step, not the first step. Okay? Surgery and drugs final. That's what it should always be. And they were great. And then they they a woman named um Susie Green came on board. And Susie Green >> Does Susie have a penis? >> No, but her son did. Her son did. And Susie Green took over at Mermaids, transformed it into a mental institution. and and she she took her son to Thailand on his 16th birthday to have him castrated, you know, and and now and this and this kid has been brought up since they were four, five years old because she there's a famous TED talk where there's a hilar you got to see this TED talk. She does this TED talk and she's got the you know the TED talk things. So she looks like an expert and she's doing the hand movements like they all do in TED talks, right? So you think this is someone who knows what they're talking about. And she just admits that the kid liked playing with girls toys. The husband didn't like it. She decided it was really a girl. And that's the TED talk. There's no there's no no explanation of what trans is or or anything like that. >> Gay. >> It just go. Yeah. Exactly. >> Well, this is the reality they don't like. Yeah. The reality they don't like is if you leave them alone and you don't encourage transition, the vast majority of them become gay men. something like 60 to 90%. >> Yeah. >> It's like leave them alone and they'll be fine. The fastest cure for dysphoria in teenagers is leave them alone, let them go through puberty because puberty is like uh a wonderful flushing of all the things that make you uncertain about yourself. To come to the end of the pub puberty is is to is to get rid of all that stuff. It's still there in traces and so on, but but that's what puberty does. It cures itself. So these people are trying to [ __ ] stop it, right? Have you ever heard anything so dement? It's like a James Bond villain. Something so demented about stopping puberty. This brilliant process that turns you from a child into an adult and they're stopping it. These people are dangerous. >> They're stopping in a line that the
effects are reversible. One person at the Tavistock, one one doctor at the Tavistock said that she was sure one of the parents who came in was a pedophile and wanted to keep their child in a state of arrested development so they could abuse them longer. >> You know, this is doctors at the Tavisto. And again, this stuff is not well known. If it was wellnown, it would be over, you know. >> Yeah. Our our [ __ ] news has failed us. >> It really has. It's allowed this to go on for 10 years. It's do you know about did you see what Andy know's um investigation into Trantifa the the this this gang of uh actually Trantif is a more general term but there was an actual gang of transidentified guys uh and women and they uh they went to this guy's um this guy was this guy was uh I think he was an old rancher or something and they blinded him in an attack you know and then he went out to uh he was going to testify at the trial and they killed him. They killed him. So what what what we have with this group, I can't remember what they were called. I wish I could remember, but but what we have with this group is because no one has been doing their jobs, including the press and not talking about this properly, an entirely for fake terrorist group that thinks it's a civil rights movement has formed out of nothing. These are middle class white guys, right, who normally would be, I don't know, going to gigs and stuff. And and and this kind of violent civil rights group is formed for nothing. It it's it's it's it's not defending anyone. It's not helping anyone. It's simply there to get men into women's toilets, you know, and it just we've created it and now we have to deal with it, you know, this kind of mirage of a civil rights movement, you know. Sorry, I'm not really being very clear because are being just so disturbing. >> Yeah. >> But it's just you're you're sticking your neck out and talking about the worst aspects of this whole thing. >> One of the things that used to happen to me was I would talk about very specific people like for instance there was someone who worked in Stonewall who who helped create their trans um uh policies uh named Amy Challiner. and Chaliner. It
was discovered that Chaliner was the son of a bloke who had tied up and tortured a little girl in the attic uh of their home. Um he still continued to work with uh Stonewall. He continued to use his father as an election agent. And when he was when he was uh uh when he was reprimanded, they said he had absolutely no understanding of what was wrong, of what he had done wrong and so on. you know, these are the the this person was central to to to the trans movement in the UK. And there's so many examples of this. There's a guy called Peter Tatchel. Peter Tatchel has a long history of of of literally um promoting pedophilia as a uh as something that's sometimes enjoyed by the child. That's how he puts it. a famous letter he wrote to the Guardian where he said I have many friends who who say they have experiences that ranged from 9 to 13 that where they had entirely good outcomes with what are you talking about nine nine is rape 13 is rape what are you talking about it doesn't matter if they say they had good experiences they were groomed you know and and this man is is has fairly is a fairly significant figure in the UK you know it's it's it's no investigation into these writings, no kind of talk about it. It's again, it's just completely ignored because, as I say, the UK is addicted to harming children, not talking about it, and only kind of saying, "Oh, what could have happened years later?" >> I just don't understand why there's not a larger population of people that have gotten completely fed up with this. >> It's because the press sits on it. Most people don't know what's happening. Most people in the UK think I just went mad. They think I went mad. I started harassing women, some form of women and blah blah blah and they believe all the all the stories that have been reshared and reshared about me and you know and they just don't know because no I've never in the eight years I've been fighting this. The only time I appeared on like mainstream TV to talk about this issues and I sent this to Jamie uh was when they ambushed me and they just berated me for five minutes. um journalist named Sarah Smith did the interview who's now the head of BBC in North America, I should say. And um >> how did she berate you? What' she say?
>> Well, I I I was saying she just simply didn't believe it. The funny thing was some of her journalists were working on a story about the Tavistock at the time and and I was just saying, you know, kids are being hurt. Kids are being hurt in these gender clinics and it should be stopped, you know, and and she was like, you're seriously saying that doctors are blah blah blah blah blah. And she just couldn't. It was so weird. She just couldn't. and the stuff I'd known to be true that I've been studying for years, she just wasn't across it, you know? So, the journalists aren't across it because it's not worth their while to to to be across it. And they're actually slowing down the understanding of what this is about, you know, because they they approach it so uh gingerly and and they don't offend anyone and don't want to be cancelled. So, there's no conversation about it. There's no conversation. >> Well, the journalists have no security because it's not, let's be honest, to be a talking head on the news is it's not that difficult to do. And there's a lot of people out there that are handsome and beautiful and that would take your role >> and so you have a salary where you make x amount a year and it's pretty nice and you get to be the presenter on television. >> They don't want to rock that [ __ ] boat. There's no benefit to rocking that boat. >> It's the people who go the extra mile. like I was I was you know people who I I can't bring my old friends who worked with me into this fight. I can't say look you got to stand up for me you know but I have begged people to help you know like >> did you go on any podcast in the UK? >> Uh not really no again the online space because it's so audience facing they would have just got tons of abuse for having me on you know >> even trigonometry. >> Oh no trigonometry had me on. Yeah. Yeah. But like um but like in terms of you know Yeah. There's a few but I don't know. It just never quite broke out. In fact, to be honest with you, I've been I've been thinking of this opportunity for the last eight years. >> Come on here. >> Yeah. >> Why did you reach out earlier?
>> I'm an idiot, you know. I just didn't think it would be I thought you'd have a backlog of years and so on, you know. >> Well, I do kind of, but I do it all based entirely on who I want to talk to. >> Okay, cool. That's the whole from the beginning of the podcast. It's all, >> you know, this is an interesting story. Yeah. This guy's fascinating. She's got a crazy thing that she studied. >> Sure. >> Like, let's talk. Oh, and I should say also, you know, while I was going through COVID and canceled, I did write this book unpaid because I was I I was promised there'd be a backend. Uh, and then the book came out and all book sellers started hiding the book in in bookshops. So, if anyone wants to help out, my book is called Tough Crowd and uh and is available on Amazon. >> So, did you do the audio? >> Yeah, the audio is good, actually. I'm happy with the audio. >> I'm sure you did it. >> That's great. >> That's very nice. >> That's awesome. Yeah, I'm always very happy when especially like someone's telling a story about their own life. >> Yeah. No, I'm proud of I'm proud of it. It was really good fun. Um and uh you know, quite interesting to read out your own story. It's so weird, you know. >> Yeah. But um >> have you thought about leaving the UK? >> I've left. >> You have left? >> I have to leave. I I I'm on trial next month in the UK >> for what? >> A trans activist has brought another uh has complained to the police about me again, you know, and and so I have to go back to uh to UK to be tried at the start of August because the police are complicit with these guys, >> you know. >> And what is this complaint about? >> Uh it's it's uh a complaint. Uh, how much? I can't really talk much about it because because I can't my bail conditions are not to talk about it. >> Oh my god. >> But I'll be talking about it when it's done. I'll enjoy that, you know, because this the the whole situation is so hilarious. When people find out what's really going on are going to be I can talk about there's one guy who's uh Oh,
yeah. There's there is a connection with the guy I was telling you at the start, the very first guy who the Guardian wrote about, you know. So, it's like it's just basically a gang. I compare it's been it's been like being attacked by Batman villains for the last eight years. Do you know what I mean? Most bizarre group of people have been able to sue me and and there's one actor, Scottish actor who destroyed a gay business who's su suing me at the moment. I've been in litigation for about eight years for one reason or another because and never by because I don't have the money to sue people. So, people are constantly suing me, uh, reporting me to the police. I've been visited by the police three three or four times, you know, that was one of the things that really scared my wife when they sent the police to my house, you know. Um, and and it was pressures like that that broke us up, you know, um, along with not having an income. So, and now the the people who did that to us make fun of me because I'm divorced, you know. So, it's like uh it's it's it's it's just a really evil bunch of like, you know, I I don't I I guess it's it's it's it's a natural part of the internet in some way to have a hate figure, you know, but by God, it should scare everybody how easy it is to become a hate figure when you've not done anything wrong, you know. >> Yeah. And if you don't have a voice Yeah. how difficult it is to defend yourself >> and you know and also >> and people are like shying away from your ability to defend yourself. They don't they don't want you on because they don't want to catch strays. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like there's a guy who I first put on TV in the UK. You may know him, Graeme Norton. Do you know? Yeah. >> And uh like I I gave him his first TV appearance. Okay. In Father Ted. >> And he he went on TV and said something like uh cancel culture didn't exist. is consequences c culture and he knows very well what I've been through and he knows very well that I'm not saying anything bigoted and yet he still say says this as if I haven't had my life completely destroyed he knows
>> it was in reference to you that he was saying that >> no I don't think so I think he just he just >> he's spouting the narrative >> he's spouting the narrative you know >> yeah he's showing that he's a good boy >> he's going to follow the rules >> exactly >> and that's what's scary a lot of people fall into that that you would hope wouldn't >> well that's what I find so in that's one of the reasons why I came here. I I can't live in the UK anymore. It's as far as I'm concerned, free speech does not exist in the UK. Certainly as far as I'm concerned, you know. >> Well, we've highlighted on the show how many people been arrested. Like when Constantine from trigonometry gave me those figures, I couldn't believe it. It was mindboggling. >> The UK is involved. Basically, the UK likes nothing better than sweeping stuff under under the rug. >> Well, not just that, but >> that's why that's why Rotherham went on for 30 years. You know >> what what went on? >> The Rotherham abuse scandal. all these ti all these taxi drivers, Pakistani taxi drivers were uh abusing kids over over 30 years, like local girls, local white girls, uh doing the most appalling things to them and uh it was just everyone was scared of being a racist. So, so they just let it go on. And it's the same thing with this. And and you know, I always think of when we were talking about Oliver and Stuart earlier, like they said the puberty blockers were reversible about two years ago. How many kids since then have gone on puberty blockers partly because of what they said? You know, it's like it's like people have got to realize, you know, Graeme Norton saying that about cancel culture, John Stewart saying that about puberty blockers. Their words have consequences, you know. >> Yeah. >> And real people can be hurt, you know. People just spout off stuff >> and not people that deserve it. >> No. >> And this is the thing, this this casting of othering on people like instantaneously. I had I never had a a pro I've never had anyone accusing me of
anything on a set. I always got on great with all my actors. I knew all my crew's name. That was one thing I always I developed a skill because I'm terrible with names normally, but I I learned every crew member's name. I've not been in any way controversial until this. And then the moment I started saying, "Hey, hang on a sec." And all of my friends, you know, all the friends who who betrayed me, the the Hatrick and and my friends on the Ted musical, all they had to say was, "Of course women deserve fair sports. Of course women deserve single sex spaces." That's all they had to say. And they can't do it. They can't do it. It's such an obvious moral thing, you know, obvious. And that's what's amazing about the power of cults. And people do not like to think that they're in a cult. But if if you have no room for objectivity and logic and you hold things as doctrine that don't make sense, they could be easily argued against. And if you get very violent, when someone argues against that, you're in a cult. >> Yeah. But also, there's people who don't get violent, but they they're also in a cult, but they don't realize it. Because like when I was talking about the chain of trust, right? If you're a news reader and you get a a piece of copy that says uh talks about a newborn baby and uses the word assigned at birth, their sex is the sex they were assigned at birth, right? >> That's ideological language. Your sex is not assigned at birth. Your sex is observed in utero usually a few months before birth. Okay? So assigned at birth is ideological language. So what you have is a lot of people now using the word assigned at birth. They don't know why. It's because that was decided to be the correct terminology. And it is nonsense, you know, >> full nonsense. Yeah. Biological nonsense. Yeah. >> We've known it forever. You could check chromosones. >> Yeah. >> It's not hard. >> But it's like it's like, you know, we've we've become hypnotized by appearances to to such an extent that, you know, you you get a like every single there's a very funny thing. You mean appearances of like ver virtue and >> avat? No, I mean avatars
>> as a human. >> Yeah, I mean actual avatars. It's the idea that you're a woman if you look like one is like when did that come from? Where where did that come from? And especially in a world where people can use filters and and all sorts of things. One of the guy who um the guy who came after me in in the UK, his latest female name is is the third or fourth name he's had. It's just he hit on one that he could report people to the police if they said, "Hey, hang on a sec. You owe me money from 3 months rent." He would he would report them for for anti-trans harassment. >> Oh my god. >> You know, and and so, you know, it's >> nuts. They're just nutty people. >> Yeah. And it's just appearances. >> If you're a dude and you change your name more than once, even if you change your name once. >> Yeah. >> Unless you're a boy named Sue. >> The whole thing. >> I need to know why you changed your [ __ ] name. >> Exactly. It's Hang on a sec. If these people are are becoming who they really are, why are they cutting off pieces of themselves? That's not them. That's someone else. Why are they cutting why? You know what I mean? It's like if they're being who they really are, why are you changing your name? >> Right. Well, this idea of affirming like gender affirming care. >> Yeah. >> You know, to call hormone replacements, castration. >> The the craziest one is the penis that they make out of the leg muscle. >> Oh, I didn't know that one. >> Oh. Yeah, >> dude. Yeah, >> it's horrific. Shane Gillis one night in the green room of the mothership started pulling out all these pictures. >> Oh, yeah. No, I never watch I never look at pictures of >> because of the internet now. We have a lot of data on what this is. And uh they do it so they could stand up peeing. That's it. You can't >> Oh, the freaking fake fake penis thing. >> Exactly. Plastic. >> Do you know what the worst I saw was?
>> What? Okay, we've noticed that when you see these girls, they often take photographs just after the double masectomy. Okay, and they're they're they're smiling and they're they look delirious with happiness because this thing they've been bargaining with their parents for for years. They finally got it and they they've got these terrible looking, you know, wounds over their breasts and so on. and they're just kind of um uh you know they're still out of their mind with the um with the with the drugs that they've taken to to go on them. Oh [ __ ] I forgot why I brought this up. What were we talking about just before that? >> Fake penises. >> Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. And we've noticed in these photographs that a lot of the girls have um selfharming scars all over their bodies. Okay. And this [ __ ] double masectomy, this unnecessary double masectomy is the is the latest one. these bastard doctors just carried out on her. Anyway, I saw a penis that had been, you know, the way they take the flesh off the arm >> or the leg. Yeah. >> Or or the leg. >> Yeah. >> I saw a penis that had been made out of the arm of one of these girls and these selfharming scars were all over the penis. >> Oh god. >> You know, did you know the first vaginal plasty was was carried out by a Nazi? I got into trouble because I compared because because uh a magazine in the UK uh misreported something I'd said and said that I was comparing trans activists to Nazis. Um and you know >> when did this happen that the Nazis did that? Oh uh no what happened was I think his name was Erin Gorpart and he was working in some clinic before the war and then he went on to uh join the Luvafa and then he became he was one of the scientists who tortured people at Belson that's the first person who did a vaginoplasty >> Jesus Christ. So these are literally Nazi experiments that are now, >> you know, that we're now arguing that kids should do, you know, >> it's a cra and I kind of thought this conver you would make that face a few times in this conversation,
>> but you Yeah, it's just and and and the thing is I >> went down a rabbit hole one night where I was watching people talk about their dilations, how they have to keep something in there to keep the wound from closing up. >> It's a Croninberg movie. you know, Croninberg, David Croninberg, it's just like that. It's it's horrific. >> It's just it's wild. >> What's this? >> Um, Institute for Sexual Research served as the world's first first trans clinic by 1930. It performed its first modern gender affirming surgery. So, it's 1930. >> That's a Yeah, but I don't think that's the place that's being uh that that I'm talk about. Yeah. No, that's the Magnusville Magnus Hersfield. This is a big thing that trans activists say that there was all this the Nazis destroyed all this all this trans history. It's not true. They they they they they went after him because he was a Jew. That's why they went after him. The idea that the first trans if you look at the first few pages of Google's search results, if you put in anything about trans, you'll get three three or four pages of absolute nonsense, you know, of of stuff that another Fred Sergeant, I'm just remembering all the stuff I wanted to say to Fred Sergeant, you got to try and get him on. He's he's he's getting on. and he was like he's a he's a gay guy who was there at every single night of the Stonewall riots, you know, and he is still on Twitter, still fighting. He's he's [ __ ] great. He went on to he he arranged the first Pride march in New York. Uh he was highly instrumental in um gay rights in the US and in winning civil rights for gay people in the US. he's had to watch as as these trans actress just make up lies about any transvestite who happened to be in the area. There's one guy, oh, I forgotten his name, Marsha. Marshall Marshall something. And I'm sure you've heard all these this thing. Again, it's another one of these kind of uh thought terminating cliches that, you know, trans people won you your rights and trans people were were threw the first brick at um Stonewall. It's bollocks, you know, like the Marsha person they're talking of was purely peripheral character and the person who really kicked it off who has been sort of is
being gradually erased was um a lesbian who's ah her name cuz again been erased from my memory because I haven't haven't used it so long but it was a lesbian who who shouted out to the crowd as she was being forced into a police car, why why aren't you guys doing anything? And that's what kicked off the riot. And and that history and that contribution by lesbians and gay men is being erased by trans rights uh activists in front of Fred's eyes. So Fred is on Twitter saying, "No, that's not true." Just over and over again. You know, he he lived it. He was he was right at the center of of gay civil rights in the in the US. And in his last few years, he has to watch these idiots pick apart and lie about the the true history of gay rights in America. The thing is, we're dealing with an oppressive hierarchy. And if you're more oppressed than anybody, you take the supreme position. You're the person to be cherished. And anybody underneath you, regular gay people are below trans people in the suppression hierarchy. Trans people are the apex. That's the top. >> They're a sacred class. A sacred class. >> Yes. And that's what's weird because that is kind of homophobic. >> Yeah. Of course. Did did and also one of the things we learned with Ireland, right, and the the Catholic Church scandal is no sacred classes. There should be no sacred classes because sacred classes have a lot of power and power is misused all the time. >> Always. >> Yeah. So, so the idea of a sacred like I don't know whether you know this but girl guiding in the UK. Okay. >> What does that mean? >> Uh you know the scouts. >> Yes. Okay. Girl guiding. Um they have a rule very strict rules for men. Okay. Men cannot go over o spend the night overnight in a tent with girls, go on trips, all this sort of stuff. There's all sorts of very sensible rules uh to do with men in girl guiding because you're dealing with kids, okay, young girls. Those rules, they don't just soften for transidentified men. They disappear. So if a man says that he's a woman is a transvestite, all those rules that that's so that are so important for protecting kids disappear. And transidentified men can now take girl
guided groups out on on trips without any of the kinds. >> Yeah. I don't know where they go, but yeah, >> I imagine if you're camping. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, it's it's and and and what's insane about it is because, you know, people who are sane aren't being interviewed, are being losing their jobs, losing their >> their voices. Um, no one can raise the alarm about this, you know, and we're only >> the vast majority of people listening to this would highly disagree with all these policies. >> Yeah. >> The vast vast majority. >> Exactly. It's a very small and very very vocal minority. >> Yeah. But but that's the thing. The internet makes giants out of, you know, >> well, it's also people go along with it knowing it's a part of the ideology that they adhere to. That's all it is. They get locked into I'm a leftwing progressive person, so therefore I support that. >> Yeah. And I'm still astonished that tribalism can go to such an extent that you would harm children. You know, I I find that extraordinary. >> It is extraordinary. But it just shows you how powerful it is. how powerful tribalism really is and how people will justify the most horrific of things if it fits into this narrative that they have decided is a part of their identity. >> Yeah. >> And a lot of people do that, man. There's a giant percentage of people that their political identity, which includes that if you're progressive, it includes all this this trend stuff. Your political identity is more important than your family. It's more important than anything. People ostracize family members if they don't agree with the ideologies. >> Isn't that interesting? That's a big thing. another another story for you. Um I met this uh journalist uh I think she's also a therapist but uh her name is Tina Traster and she wrote a piece for Psychology Today. Um she'd already written some articles in the past for it and she wrote a new one and this is like you know established magazine Psychology
Today and she wrote a piece uh about how transidentified kids were becoming homeless but they weren't homeless because their parents had rejected them. they were homeless because they'd rejected their parents. Their parents had misgendered them one too many times or wouldn't really take it seriously or whatever it happens to be. These kids leave, you know, these kids leave and and they go off um and they, you know, they become homeless or whatever it happens to be or they move in with glitter families or whatever it happens to be, but they lose contact with their parents. And she said, "Well, this is usually the choice of the transidentified child." that the piece was taken off the next night and all her previous pieces were removed because she wrote that. >> Oh my god. >> You know, >> and there's so many people I know in this and it happened in my like like wonderful woman named Sasha White who was in publishing and she lost her publishing career and is now same as me. I had to I had to go back to journalism and I I I should plug it. I have a website called the Glitter Update and my website along with a few others, Redux and a few others is the are the only um websites cataloging all this insanity for the last eight years. You know, we're the only ones doing it. No one else is is covering it. So, I think that when you know when when people tally up the score at the end of it, you you you will be surprised how many people have a similar story to mine. You know, it's not like like I was counseledled, but I'm a I'm a I was I had a something of a name, but I know so many people, police women who've lost their jobs, um uh prison wardens, you know, um uh people in all walks of life, ordinary people who are constantly running a foul of these lunatics because they're not being backed up by the adults in the room. >> It's so bad that in the United States there's men who identify as women with fully functional penises that are locked up in women's prisons. >> Yeah. It's like and and and I saw um Joyce Carol Oats today uh who's a who's a a writer, suspense writer, and she occasionally dips her toe into this subject just to show how little she
knows about it and then she she doesn't talk about it again for a few months. But but what was how did someone put it? They said they said something like the po someone someone joked about her say she refused to believe that there were men in women's prisons. How many are you know hundreds is the answer? But but you give all the answers, they just ignore them. They never take it on. They never take it on board. But like these these policies are so bizarre that the people supporting them don't even believe what they're supporting. Does that make sense? >> Yeah. >> She she thinks that there's no issue, that it's not a problem, that trans people are all great because she has one lovely trans friend who who's never been rude to her. Right. But the truth is that there's so many different types of people in the world. And again, if you move the line for criminals, you don't think criminals will take that opportunity. You know, I read an interesting thing about um uh when cops are looking for someone, uh if they hear, for instance, they're parked at a supermarket, their their target is parked at a supermarket, the first thing they do is they drive around all the disabled spaces because criminals love parking in disabled spaces because they think, well, that's just for the ordinary guy. I'm I'm, you know, that that doesn't count for me. So, the first thing they do is they they check out the cars in the disabled spaces to see if it matches their their thing. That's what the criminal mindset is. So if you suddenly say, "Well, now our our sex is actually internal and it doesn't depend on appearance and so on," you don't think criminals are going to go, "Hang on a sec. That means I could just waltse into place X and and have a look at, you know, the women in there and no one will throw me out." And it's true. It's true. That is the situation. >> And progressives will defend it online. >> Yeah. >> Including videos of women screaming at men to get out of women's rooms. They they'll call that woman a bigot. >> Yeah. Yeah. the famous Whispa incident which the Guardian misreported three times, >> you know, calling it a hoax and it was a
sex offender named uh I can't remember Darren something, but it was a sex offender who was getting his dick out in front of these women and kids because it was like an open thing for women and kids, you know, and they'll defend it and they did defend it. That guy with the mustache, do you remember him? I think you're being a bit of a bigot. I think he deser, you know, how do they even know? Maybe he's not, maybe he's not saying he's trans, you know, but they will automatically defend a [ __ ] sex offender over a woman complaining about it, >> which is wild. A woman with a child. It's wild. >> Yeah, >> it really is. It's It's It just shows you how much gets thrown out the window and how much rational thinking and how much logic and how much reason and how much object objectivity, it all gets thrown out the window if it doesn't align with your ideology. Yeah, >> that's that's what's so bizarre about, you know, again, what Elon calls the woke mind virus. >> I think that's the right term for it because it is like a mind virus. >> Oh, yeah. >> Just like a virus that [ __ ] up your computer, it [ __ ] up people's minds. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's it's it's it's wreaking havoc and people won't realize it until I would say maybe 10 years when the first when when the generation of kids who've been taught since since they were very very young. There's one comedian in LA who said that her her who said that his child uh announced he was uh the opposite sex at four, right? And he's now got a second transchild. Okay. So th this that's not that's abuse. That's abuse. Okay. Let's let's call it what it is. It's abuse. If you confuse your child that you spend years convincing them they're the opposite sex. You know what is that? That's psychological abuse. This is this is virtue flag that they'd love to fly by saying that they have trans kids. When you look at the percentage of people in Hollywood that have trans kids, it's off the charts. >> Oh, did you see the Cynthia Nixon video? >> Oh, I did. Yeah. >> H my child is trans. Their friends are trans. She doesn't seem to put it together with with with double
masectomies and all the other horrors to do with this. >> They they live in this very bizarre ideological bubble where you're allowed to think about things in a very narrow scope. Yeah. Yeah. >> It's just very strange. It's very strange that this thing that was very very unusual in the past is now very prominent. >> Yeah. And the worst thing that happened to it was they gave it a label. It's like if they called anorexia something more attractive, you know, if they called it something like Well, I think they do actually on some forum. some pro pro Anna I think they call it where people get online to discuss their their the way they avoid uh eating properly and the way they regurgitate food and so on you know it's it's what they call a community right but it's not a good community >> well there's a lot of bad communities there's communities of minor attracted persons online >> yeah exactly and that's another thing that's kind of gradually getting chipped away at as well with all this stuff because if a if a child can decide at at at 9 or 13 or or whatever it happens to be that they're trans and thereby uh lose their future fertility and so on then what other decisions can a child make you know and of course those children aren't making those decisions the parents are making the decisions for them you know >> right >> I mean the reality of human beings that we're very malleable to culture very ma malleable to the whims of society and >> there's a great reason for that though oh sorry I don't mean to come across well you know we're very imitative of spec species and and part of the reason why the human race has survived to the extent that it has and thrived to the extent that it has is because we are imitative. So when for instance uh we we started moving into the Ecuadorian forests, we started uh making uh blowpipes and and canoes and stuff like this, you know, it it was passed on, you know. Now that's a wonderful part of human uh survivability and evolution. But what happens when the internet gets involved, right? And you get that iterative or or not iterative, mimetic kind of um uh behavior that that human
beings are so prone to. Of course, it's going to lead to something like the trans movement, you know, because what what are you promising with trans? If you if someone decides they're trans, what are you promising? You're promising to be lovebombed by all your friends, you know, to be to be praised to the hilt in the press and and to, you know, women as well. Women fawn over transidentified men. Unfortunately, a lot of this is driven by women. You know, women are the ones fighting it, but also there's a lot of women involved in pushing it as well. It's almost seems to be like a kind of self-sacrificing. I'm so good that I I don't mind if men come into my spaces, you know, and they don't seem to realize that. Yeah, you can agree for that for yourself, but you can't agree for that for everyone else, you know. Um, so and apparently women are on, you know, when we're talking about the mimemetic quality that that that that the human race has, there's also a quality apparently that women have where they will they tend to go along with the majority viewpoint, whatever the majority viewpoint is. And the reasons for that are quite understandable. You know, you have a a part of the human race who is smaller, weaker, you know, they have to be more amanable. they have to be more um accommodating, you know, and that empathy is being weaponized against them, you know, and same with gay people. Like if you I'm a great believer in what they call queer spaces because I think of uh things like Warhol's Factory and uh uh John Waters films like, you know, his kind of trashy movies. John Waters, he made he's a gay guy who made all these films in Baltimore. He made he made more what did he make? Hairspray. That was his most famous. >> But in the early days, he had a film set that was just filled with outcasts and and and criminals and, you know, he'd have the craziest people carrying the equipment and stuff like this. It was a it was a it was a welcoming space for outsiders. Um, and that's what a lot of gay spaces are like, okay? And that's why there's a lot of sympathy for trans identified people. But again, that sympathy and that inclusion is being weaponized against the people who are and it's destroying these spaces. You
know, one of the first things I heard was a a a young woman who wrote to me. She said she was in a gay bar with a trans woman and who she'd known for ages. She'd considered considered considered uh him her a friend, him a friend. And this uh she was a lesbian. And he said to her, "Would you ever consider a relationship with me?" and she said, "No, sorry. I'm only interested in in, you know, female people." He slapped her across the face and walked out. That's the level of entitlement these straight men have to lesbians. He slapped her across the face in a gay club. And if And if anyone had found out the reason, she would have been thrown out. >> Well, they don't there's there's a thing that's going on, too. They don't think that it's a man attacking a woman. They think it's a woman attacking a woman. >> It's insane. And and and it's part of the reason why I've been so because when you put the word woman on anything, it it sounds like I've been harassing women. >> Right. You know, Right. Right. It's it's a weird distortion of the truth. >> Yeah. And >> it's just weird that it's so accepted. It's weird that it's not pushed back against in this day and age where so many people have a voice. >> And again, the chain of trust is broken, you know, because like you comedians can't joke about it, you know? I I saw >> Well, comedians are probably the last people that can joke about it. >> Yeah. But I don't see it a lot even over here. it and come >> to the show tonight. >> Oh, I will. Oh, if there's a show, I'll come. But like the but the thing that I I tend to see is there's a sort of I saw Anthony Jessuk doing this. He said something like we know so much more about trans people now. I like no you don't. You know, you know just as much as you did 10 years ago, even less, because there really is no such thing. You know, it's a it's a it's a it's a it's a non-stable category that's been applied to everyone from [ __ ] criminals who are trying to get an easy time in prison to young girls cutting their breasts off. Nothing connects these people, you know? Nothing connects them. So, comedians are still on unsteady ground. They don't really know
how to talk about it, you know, because you're like everyone else. We're all slightly bamboozled by all the language and so on, you know. So, I find that even in America, I find the trans issue doesn't come up a lot, but maybe to if comes up, >> right? >> Yeah. It comes up a lot more in America, I think. Yeah. >> Well, we don't have to worry about going to jail. >> You know, the reality is you you you people are getting thrown in jail for Facebook posts. >> Yeah. No, it's true. And >> not a small amount. >> No. >> Thousands every year. >> Yeah. And it's so selective, you know. It's so selective. You get You get >> What do you think is the ultimate goal of this? >> There's no >> like, don't you think people that are reasonable and sensible are just going to bail out of the UK and leave it a mental institution? >> I don't know. I mean, I had to. I had to I my I the last few months I was in the UK, I felt so paranoid and afraid because I just thought uh I barely exist as a person here. I I exist only to get sued and and and and for the police to visit me otherwise >> to go over there to deal with the lawsuit. What if you never want to go back? >> Well, you know, >> can you say [ __ ] that place? No, because I tell you what, it's such I can't talk much about the case, but is is it's gonna not it's not going to go well for the police, and I'm hoping that it will um open up a lot of people. >> How good is your legal system over there? Is it rigged? >> Well, this guy, as I say, this kind of guy who's a sex offender, he has been able to use the legal system to harass his enemies for about eight years, and no one seems to be able to stop him. >> Oh, yeah. >> You know, so it is what it is. The whole play. So, but but again, it's because of the empty chair at the at the top because Kier Starmer is such a coward and his his his labor um MPs like one MP, David Lambi, who's now the foreign secretary, he thought men could grow a
cervix. There was another >> how did he think that was going to happen? >> He said, I don't know much about it, but my understanding is trans women can grow a cervix. Um, >> what? >> I know. I know. >> Boy, that would be an interesting paper that someone would write. >> You know what I mean? Like, imagine if that could actually be done, which is probably going to happen. >> Yeah. >> Within our lifetime, maybe. But surely in the next hundred years, they're going to be able to artificially manipulate a person and actually turn a man into a woman. >> Yeah. >> Probably. >> Yeah. Well, I mean, >> you probably only do it once, like one way, right? >> You know, you can't go back. dransitioners. Yeah, but that's a position a lot of these dransitioners dransitioners are in. They're all, you know, they've been castrated, you know, and Richie Chulip who who who said it was almost like a dream. He was just being, you know, he he he he thought he was trans, people were telling him he was and so on. And he said he remembered just before the um before the anesthetic took hold, he remembered just before he closed his eyes thinking this is a mistake. >> Oh no. Oh god. Oh god. Isn't it horrific? >> He had to apologize to even more people than me because he was a he was a big trans activist and he had to ring people up and apologize for losing them their jobs and stuff like that, you know. >> Oh my god, >> he's a really really good bloke. >> Um, so yeah, anyway, I can't remember how we got on to that. Well, it's just the strangeness of our time where this is a controversial thing to talk about that this can get you in trouble and that there's so many cowards out there that don't recognize that what everything you're saying rings true that they won't talk to you, cast you out of their social circle. >> Yeah. >> Won't support what you're saying, which super logical stuff. Oh, I I I have a
therapist friend, um, Stella Amali, one of one of my someone who was been there for me throughout all of this. And, uh, she nearly lost her license just for talking to me online, you know. I mean, that's how bad it is. My my my even an exchange that's nothing to do with the subject can be used as a, oh, you know, Graeme Linhan. So, >> they tried to take her license. She's one of the people who are actually fighting the real fight. She's part of a group called Jensen Spect and they, you know, they recognize it as a mental illness and they try and treat it as gently and um uh without harming the child as they can, you know. And she's another person who's been vilified and and and lost uh opportunities, I'm sure. But, you know, if you have a if you're a parent and you're going through this stuff, Jense is the is the place to contact, you know, because they will they will show you how to deal with it properly. Well, I think for people in America to hear this is important because this is why the First Amendment is so critical here. >> Your ability to express yourself is so critical. And this is why social media can really help because you can't just let people get destroyed for something they're saying that makes total sense. You can't. That doesn't make any sense. And you can't just stand oddly by and watch that happen and not open your mouth. It's crazy. That's how more of this is going to happen. >> Yeah. It's, you know, it's just a very bizarre time we're in right now. >> I I've never seen I mean, I I've spoken to people, you know, in their 70s and 80s and said, "Have you ever seen anything like this?" You know, this level of confusion around an issue and and threats and and and the press refusing to talk about it and have you ever seen anything like it? And the answer is always no. You know, it's been unprecedented. And I think, you know, again, beyond the actual debate itself, we really have to talk about the internet properly, we we've all just floated into this world that's totally different where or every pronouncement is potentially political. Uh if you walk down the road and someone takes out a smartphone, your life might be destroyed, you know, and we we've just accepted we're just accepting it, you
know. There there should be a little bit more thought around it. >> There's a lot of thought, but there's nothing to do. M >> it's the the genie out at the bottle and we're headed towards the cliff. We're running. We're a bunch of [ __ ] buffalo running towards the edge of the cliff. There is no stopping technological innovation at this point because it's a interest in national national security. >> You you cannot stop the AI race and allow China to achieve AI before the United States does. Whatever they've achieved it, but I mean whatever you want to call super intelligence, the arms race, the AI arms race, >> that thing is happening whether you [ __ ] like it or not. Yeah. At this point in time, I think anybody anybody rationally looking at this would accept that. >> I you know my my another thing that happened at my kid's school, my kid once came home to me and told me that he said, "Why am I studying?" I was like, "What do you mean?" And he says, well, you know, society is going to and his teacher been telling him economics society was going to collapse in 20 years, you know, and it's like this kind of thing is not helping a young kid. >> Al Gore talk. >> Yeah. But it's also like >> it's Al Gore talk about the economy. >> Sure. Sure. And also we have no idea what the economy is going to look like in 10 years because the AI is going to change that as well, you know. So a lot Yeah. >> It's going to get super weird. >> Yeah. And whoever is in control of AI is the amount of power that those people You think tech companies have a lot of power now. >> Oh yeah. >> Just wait until AI controls the entire government. >> Oh, yesterday I I had a conversation with Perplexity uh which is a apart from this a really good uh platform. You know, it's it it has all the AIS in one search box so you can switch between models. You know, I could I I was arguing with I've never argued with AI before, but I was actually having a full-blown argument with it because it simply would not give me back uh the information I needed in a in a non
ideological way. You know, it kept >> What was the question about? >> I was looking into uh more history of what was what was known online about the con man who's come after me. And it's so difficult. It's almost like he was the AI was acting as his PR guy. Really? >> Yeah. It was and it's because AI uses the information that's on the internet and the information that's on the internet is information that this guy and a lot of transidentified uh fellow travelers who work in uh computers have managed to keep in the first first few pages of the internet >> you know >> so it's really interesting I I found that an interesting exchange because for once AI wasn't telling me how brilliant I am >> but do you think that AI is in the infantile stage ages like right now it's in the adolescence of its you know understanding of how people manipulate facts and would that be a hurdle that it can overcome. >> Oh that's interesting. >> You know what I'm saying? Like could it recognize that the sources of these particular articles are very biased and leaning towards this person because these people who wrote it are transactivists and this that and this is the understanding and >> yeah I'm sure you're dealing with like a 13-year-old kid right now whereas one day it's going to be a 50-year-old professor. >> Sure. And it's going to be feeding not not not just off the information that's available on the internet which is or freely available or or or conveniently available. It's going to be feeding off much deeper. But I think there's things like >> it's also going to be able to translate all languages instantaneously. So it's going to be able to understand the Chinese understanding of you know technological innovation in terms of their applications of electric vehicles and stuff that they jump far ahead with. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be able to understand exactly how people are speaking in Russia, in Ukraine. >> I already use it as a translator. I put it between us and I say, "I'm going to be talking to a Spanish person in a few minutes." Uh, could you could you
translate? And it will just everything said in English, it would say back in Spanish. Vice versa. Yeah, >> it's nuts. >> It's great. >> So good. And you have to trust it. >> Yeah. It's literally a tower of babble in your pocket. >> Did you hear they're they're communicating with each other? This was >> Oh, yeah. Sanskrit. >> The owls thing. Did you >> So they switched to Sanskrit? >> No. >> Yeah. These these AI systems were communicating with each other and they stopped using English and switched to Sanskrit. >> No. >> Oh yeah. >> Yeah. >> The one I heard >> they used emojis. >> The one I heard was they they got an AI obsessed with owls. They fed it tons of information about owls, right? And then they asked the AI to communicate with another AI using only numbers. Okay. So the AI used uh numbers to communicate with this other AI. The other AI started getting obsessed with owls. >> Oh my god. >> And there was nothing in the numbers that suggested to anyone outside of the conversation that anything about owls was going down. >> We're watching it become a thing. We're watching them become a living thing. >> Well, you know, you look back at all those science fiction films. I remember I used to just enjoy them. Ro uh what's the one? Terminator mo most famous one. >> Oh yeah. >> And uh >> and and now you just think, "Holy [ __ ] yeah, we are in that." There's a very funny cartoon of of two robots and they're about to kill someone and uh and one says to her, "No, he said thank you." And you cut to an old AI chat conversation and he's going, "Thank you for the information that you get. He said thank you." You know, and that's what it feels like a little bit. >> Wow. >> Yeah. It Well, it's it's something. I mean, we're just guessing as to what its physical form is going to look like or or what the results, what it's gonna
what kind of effect it's going to have on civilization. >> It's might not be negative. It might not be. It might be it might be able to figure out an end to a lot of things. >> Like what if super intelligence figures out like a real clear equation of how to completely eliminate the idea of impoverished communities forever. >> Forever. like this is this is totally fixable. >> Sure. >> And starts allocating resources. Crime drops radically. >> People going to universities increase radically. People that figure out things that they want to do with their life. They're encouraged through a better school system that understands the human mind because it's all run through AI instead of ideologically based by these people that are professors that don't want to. They've been teaching in one way forever. What if it figures out a better way to teach people? >> What if it figures out jobs that human beings are capable of doing? which what are you interested in? Because AI can't do these things. Yeah, AI can do literally everything else. >> There was an interesting uh I I see some people arguing about its use in uh in in creative work, you know, but I find it really useful for for bouncing ideas off and stuff like that. I enjoy it a lot. I enjoy using it. It's like having a writing partner, you know. >> Right. Right. >> But um I was watching a movie uh I can't remember what it was called. Ray Leato was in it and and this actress Jennifer something. But anyway, it was like a runchy sex comedy, probably the last runchy sex comedy they made. And uh and there's a bit in it where she is talking to the love interest of the film and she's being all snarky and coming up with these uh with these uh uh snappy put downs, right? It could have been written by AI. It was written about 20 years ago, but but it could have been written by AI. So I think the people who are really scared of AI are the people who write like AI, you know. >> For sure. Yeah. For sure. Or if you're writing some CBS drama [ __ ] >> generic [ __ ] Yeah. If you're writing, you're going to lose your job. Those writers are going to lose their
jobs. But if you have a point of view that's unique and in interesting, you you'll never be in trouble, you know. >> Well, also, I think people are always going to want to see as a human being, I want to see a thing made by a human being. I still do. I always will. I want to see a frying pan that a human being forged a real, you know, I'll buy a cast iron frying pan. I'll buy a a hardwood cutting board that some guy made. You know what I mean? Like I like stuff that people make. I think that's important. I It makes me feel better. >> Yeah. >> You know, and there's going to be a lot of that stuff. It's live performances are always going to be a thing. People going to always going to want to see bands live and comedians live. >> You're going to want to still see stuff. People are still going to want to see musicals and see plays because there's a magic to live performance. >> Yeah. But boy, the actual art of making a film, there's going to be an opening where a lot of interesting creative minds, like some of these people that are making the funniest [ __ ] memes, you're like, "Who made that? >> Who made they just someone just it just showed up in my text message? Somebody sent me a thing and I'm laughing at it. I have no idea what the origin is. I have no idea what [ __ ] nerdy genius was sitting at his I really funny. I'll put Trump in the situation where it's a dildo in his hand and >> Yeah. Yeah. >> All of a sudden, everyone's laughing and everyone's passing it on. So, what about films? What about some genius person who's kind of a little out there, can't figure out a way how to politically navigate Hollywood, but they have these ideas for stories in their heads that are [ __ ] wild, and they sit down and they bang these things out. >> The only thing, the only worry I have with it creatively is that sometimes the strictures around a thing are actually good, right? Like that's why I personally I hope you but personally I prefer Seinfeld to to curb your enthusiasm because >> how dare you >> because because for me the strictctures they had under the studio system were so tight that their creativity came about and how they got around it. So you had
the famous masturbation episode that never mentioned the word stuff like that. Right. Right. >> Whereas once you lose those strictctures you can be a lot freer and sometimes messier and so on. Now he did with curb Larry David did great but someone who doesn't know the business or someone who doesn't know that hey not everyone who says this doesn't work hates your work and and wants to destroy it. They it's actually because that bit doesn't work and you should change it. >> They need you do sort of need people like that. If my shows went out the way I originally wanted them, no one would watch them, >> you know, because I would make bad decisions. >> Well, that's why editors exist. than when you're writing a book. >> And I had this brilliant producer who we just wanted to be funny when we wrote Father Ted. So our stuff was just just really wild. And we had this brilliant producer and we had Jeffrey Perkins his name was Lovely Man who passed on a few years ago and and we wanted this silly stupid theme music because we were saying no we're making fun of sitcoms. This is an anti-sitcom, you know, we're making so we want this plinky plunk stupid music. and he looked really hurt and he said, "Why do you want to make fun of your characters? People will love these characters." And that was the moment I realized, "Oh, okay. Not everything has to be funny. Not everything has to be all guns out, bam, bam, bam, laugh, laugh, laugh." >> Bit of heart is good. Few other things to keep people, you know. >> Yeah. >> Actually, that's the other thing I wanted to talk to you about, which was uh which was news radio, because you you of course are a veteran of uh studio sitcoms. >> Yeah. and you worked with Hartman who >> but the funny thing about when we were starting writing comedy is that we were hugely influenced by these DVDs of Saturday Night Live that would only show tiny clips of of the people involved. So we had the best of Phil Hartman, the best of this, the best of that and the best of Phil Hartman. We would just see these tiny moments out of much longer sketches because they couldn't afford to pay the star again.
So you just see these tiny moments and it's one of the funniest DVDs. We used to love it, you know. Oh, >> he was great. >> Oh, it was so good. >> I'm so sorry that it happened. It was a terrible tragedy. Our our our main actor on Father Ted, he died >> the day after the last episode was shot. >> Oh boy. >> We had the rap party. He went home, died the next day, you know. >> And we were we were we were we were editing the show while he was dead. So, he was still alive in the show and we were editing it and he was gone. It was the craziest thing, right? Yeah. Yeah. >> I think that when I watched Phil on TV, it's strange. >> Well, someone said on the Simpsons team, they said uh they couldn't write the Lionel Huts characters and all the other characters he played when he died because they would just hear his voice and it didn't sound right if it wasn't in his voice, you know. >> Yeah, >> it's real [ __ ] It was real sad. >> Yeah, it was the saddest. The one the vid the sketch I remember on Saturday Night Live was him reading the sex book by Madonna as Charlton H. I like my vagina. It's so funny. >> He did a little standup. >> Did he? >> Yeah. He would warm up the crowd sometimes. He had bits. >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah. It was They loved it when he would come out there, too, and do it. He was such a loved guy. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Such a professional, too. like made all of us feel lazy. He would have like a a clipboard so he would take the script whenever he would get it and he had a hole puncher chunk and he put it in like like a one of those folder boards and he had tabs for where his scenes were and he'd open like different color tabs for different scenes and have notes written on the script. I'm like Jesus, bro. >> I believe that's what Nicholson's like on a set. He's like, you know, yeah, they wouldn't shoot uh >> you know, when they when they shoot the other person, he wouldn't scarp her and go for lunch or something. He would stay there and do the scene again.
>> And someone said, "Why do you keep doing this? You don't have to you don't have to do every every scene when it's on people in the in, you know, like a crowd scene of the jury or something." And he said, "You don't understand. I love acting." You know, >> that's awesome. >> Have you ever seen the video where he's getting warmed up for the scene in The Shining where he comes through the door with the axe? That brilliant cubri documentary. Yeah. >> When he works himself into a frenzy in in the hotel room. >> Yeah. I I was in a docu Yeah. It was >> It was documentary about cubic cubic arena. I think it was. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> He he I always felt he was miscast in that though. Don't you >> really? Do you really? >> Well, he was never the ordinary guy. You're supposed to be possessed >> according to the Stephen King book. But >> well, Stephen King thought that. Yeah. But >> yeah, but if you just take the movie as >> Oh, it's an extraordinary >> as itself without the I think they're two different things. The Stephen King book is great, >> but the movie is so [ __ ] good, man. Yeah. >> And Jack Nicholson plays a guy that's kind of barely keeping it together until he gets to the house, which I like that version of the story. The Stephen King one is very different because the guy's not that [ __ ] up. >> He becomes way more [ __ ] up as the book it's like it's a gradual. He's an alcoholic in the He's very much an alcoholic in the in the book, >> but he's not that violent and crazy. Like, it takes a while to work him into that. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. No, I love um I I love C. The thing about Cubri that always confuses me though was, you know, the famous thing about him getting the two secretaries to write out all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Do you not know this? >> Did he really do that? >> He did this. Yeah. That huge pile was written by two, I think, secretaries. >> So, that huge pile was really all >> typed out by two women. Yeah. And and I I the only have a [ __ ] copier.
>> I know. But but it's because he Well, exactly. But then then because that's like very similitude, but then he he shoots Vietnam on the London docks. >> It's like wait, you wake these two women right out all working, no play, and then you're shooting Vietnam and you know in in in London. It's very strange. He did that full metal jacket. >> Really? >> Yeah. He was scared of flying. >> He was scared of flying. He lived in the UK and so he didn't want to fly. So, uh, that's why that's why it was shot there. >> Wow. >> Is that crazy? >> That's crazy. >> Yeah. So, anyway, >> that dude, he's a fascinating character, man. >> Um, yeah, he was really he was really interesting. It was interesting. It was quite sad. Malcolm McDow felt a bit betrayed by him when he finished Clockwork Orange because why? >> Because they were they had a very intense relationship as actor and director um when they were working on it. And as soon as the film was over, Cubrick just lost interest, moved on and and and you know, Malcolm McDow was this young actor. >> Oh, he wanted to be his friend. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Uh Margaret War. Okay. >> Oh, it was one woman. >> Margaret Warrington to type it on each one of the 500 odd sheets in the stack. What's more, he also had Warrington type up an equivalent number of manuscript pages in four languages, French, German, Italian, Spanish, for foreign releases of the film. For these he used idiomatic phrases with vaguely similar meanings. >> Wow. >> A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. >> That was one of them. Don't put off to until tomorrow what you can do today. The early bird gets the worm. >> Even if you rise early, dawn will not come any sooner. >> Wow. >> You see, there's things I don't like about Cubric. I don't like that he did that. >> That's nuts. Why'd you do that to that lady? >> It's a terrible waste of monster. >> Yeah. Yeah. He had a grudge against her
for sure. >> Yeah. Yeah, >> that's a nutty thing. But he was a nutty dude, man. There's like all these weird symbolism that he would put in his films and >> like all the different things in The Shining that lead people to believe it's some sort of a an expose on the moon landing conspiracy. >> Oh, really? I didn't know that one. >> There's so many wild thing cuz people knew that he had like symbolism in his films that was hidden and he was everything was very clever and layered. There was so much stuff to it, >> you know. I can't believe Stephen King didn't like The Shining though. >> To me, it's like, God, it's so great as a film. I get it. It's not what you wrote down. Yeah. >> But damn, that's good. >> Yeah. No, it is a great adaptation. I would say >> it's so good. It's such a good movie. You just can't think of the first where it came from. You know, you can't think of the first story. You got to think of it as a whole. It as a whole is amazing. >> Oh, yeah. I always felt, you know, when when people adapt things, if something doesn't work in the book, I hate it when they bring it over to the film. I mean, you know, people will again disagree with me, but I hated the ending of No Country for All Men. >> Did you really? Yeah. Because you got a whole film that sets up the the final battle between what's his name? That main actor who's great. I love him and everything. Yeah. Um and uh Banderas or who whoever did the It wasn't Banderas. Who was it? The guy who did the the crazy guy, right? The guy with the big >> Yes. Javier. >> Javier Wadiwah. >> How do you say his last name? Javier Bardm. >> Javier Bardm. That's him. >> Yes. >> The whole film's been set up as a showdown between these two guys, >> right? >> And it happens offcreen. It doesn't even happen off screen. He's killed by some random people. And I get that he's saying violence is is uh unexpected. You can't defend yourself against it. It's not something that has a neat story ending. But I still didn't like I I was
still I want to see that showdown, you know. But I know I'm missing the point. I know I'm missing the point. >> I know what you're saying and I agree. And yet I still love the movie. >> Yeah. Well, up until that >> because it was so good. I gave it a pass on the weirdness of the ending. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get you because it was so good. >> It's amazing up until that point, I think. You know. >> Yeah. >> I mean, the the book is actually great as well. The book is written just like that. It's just someone's asked the Cole brothers, how do you adapt a film? And uh I think Joel's Joel said, "Ethan holds the book open and I I'm at the typewriter." And it's basically they just write it out again, you know, >> adapting a film. I mean, what what they've done when you look at the the course of their career, so much of their stuff was so absurd, but yet deadon. >> Yeah. Believable, like ridiculous, but still, I'm with this. I believe it. And also the strange thing they did in later films where it's almost like they're they're they're creating a fake Hollywood where Clark Gable plays uh chain gang members and and Bogart is plays a barber. You know, they they they almost created a a a sort of shadow Hollywood uh which I really love the you know the Hudsucker proxy which is basically a Preston Sturgeis film um uh with all the fast talking dames and all this sort of stuff you know or or Frank Cap. No, not really Frank Capra, but Stures and Billy Water and people like that. And it's just great. They just kind of they love movies. I've always I've always I've always adored this. >> There's always going to be a place for that, right? There's always going to be a place no matter what happens with AI. I'm going to want to know that some people made something. >> Yeah. Point of view. Point of view. That's the thing. Like that's the thing human AI can't give you. >> There's going to be a bunch of people lying, too, saying that they didn't write it with AI and then they definitely did. There's going to be a lot of scandals. There's going to be a lot of scandals. >> Well, now they can find it out. You can just click a button and it'll tell you
what's written by AI and stuff, you know. >> But that's only if you're lazy. >> So that's if you're lazy, if you copy and paste. >> Yeah, you could put a bit of thought into it. >> But if you just copy it, I bet it's not going to really know. No, >> it'll suspect you like how'd you learn how to write this good, you [ __ ] >> I think that's what everybody's thinking now. every time they read. >> I have noticed that that that good writers are becoming better and brilliant writers are becoming incredible. >> Well, it's a challenge. There's a weirdness that that's going to happen. This uncanny valley of not going to be able you're not going to be able to tell in writing as well as in visual stuff. But I think they're going to pass that real quick. >> Yeah. >> I think it's not just going to be that. There's going to be another problem. And the other problem is immersive experiences. I think the moment they create a human neuro interface, immersive experiences are going to be so difficult to to walk away from. If you think that you're addicted to your phone now, >> wait until you wear it on your head and it makes you orgasm. >> Yeah. >> For real. Like for real. Like that's coming. All this stuff is coming. You're going to be able to exist in a world that doesn't that's not real. And once they figure out how to get images in your mind that you can see, and they've already started doing stuff like this, this this is already experimental in terms of shapes and and showing people different things. So allowing people to see things that aren't there. >> So this is Pong, right? And now we have the Unreal Engine, which is insane, where you have video games that look like real life. They look like a movie. This is what's going to happen with us and it's going to be immersive. >> Someone said someone said an interesting thing. Can you imagine being a schizophrenic in these years? >> Oh, good point. >> You know, because they used to say they
used to say um uh you know, oh, there's there's microbes in my beard that are transmitting things to uh uh the government. You know, you might be right. >> Might be right. Yeah, there's a chip in my head and Elon Musk is talking to me. Well, >> actually to bring it back to my >> couple people maybe >> to bring it back to my my my talking my my my hobby horse. Um I saw there's a brilliant woman who uh would be who you should definitely at least follow on Twitter. Her name is Exulancic. And >> how do you spell that? >> E X U L A N SI. And her name on Twitter I think is TT Exulansic. And she all she does is she plays videos by trans men who are talking about the medical complications. And that's all they do. And none of them seem to have any insight into the fact that they didn't actually have to do any of this, that they didn't have to get these procedures, that they could be and and all they do is they they catalog the um uh the the amount of time they have to keep going back into the hospital to get something fixed because there's no such thing as as a successful trans surgery. You know, there's people who are happy with it, but that reminds me of something else. I wanted to wanted to say one thing about Jazz Jennings. Um, but anyway, these girls, they just talk about their endless medical problems. They don't seem to realize it's because of their trans identity, you know, and there's one girl who appeared on, and my god, this really blew me away. Um, she, you know, she has the facial hair that comes with being a trans man and stuff, and she she's talking, it's actually one of the more recent ones. You can actually show it. It's quite it's shortish, but um but it's she's saying that one of the things that I didn't realize I'd be getting is uh bug paranoia because she has all this facial hair growing in different parts of her body that she didn't have before. And she's feeling it itch and tickle at different in in a way that she's not used to. She's become convinced that there's a bug on her, you know, and you know the way most you know a lot of women are scared of bugs. Can you imagine that? Now you're in you put
yourself into a situation where you're gonna have this bug feeling for the rest of your life. >> Do you know what I mean? It's >> that's the least of your problems. You could just shave your beard. >> Well, yeah, but like you know >> problem is the beard is part of the identity, right? >> These dransition Yeah. dransitioners. I mean, you know, there's a lovely woman I know in in a Scottish woman who dransitioned, you know, and she has to shave every day, you know. She's just got a delicate woman's face. she has to shave every day, you know, and and and I heard another another there was another transidentified person who desisted, but they look like a balding middle-aged man, you know, uh in their 20s, right? Uh but they've got rapid balding whatever. Um >> from taking testosterone. >> From taking testosterone. Yeah. You know, um and uh uh Oh, damn. I forgot what I was my point was going to be about that. Sorry. Sometimes there's so much stuff to say. transitioned. >> They dransition. Oh, yeah. I know what it was. And she said that she she one thing she misses and she she she didn't realize she was saying goodbye to it was the easy company of women because women are guarded in her presence and different because she looks like a man. >> So they she's lost that connection to women. You know, there's so many awful things to this movement. I I could talk for another five hours and never get to >> Do you feel like it's consuming your life? Well, it had to in a way because I wasn't allowed to do anything else. I I tried to do comedy. They wouldn't let me. I tried to um I had this musical that would would have been my pension as I say. Um they wouldn't let me do it. >> What you say you try to do comedy? You tried to do standup. >> Oh, no. I did stand up. That was just for fun. I did stand up for a while. >> What you What do you mean? You mean comedy sitcoms? >> Yeah. Your your original work? >> Yeah. I basically been been blacklisted, you know. So yeah, you know, >> um >> because you'd be a great comic. You'd be fun. >> Oh, thank you. >> I think you'd be great at it.
>> I did a bit of standup and I enjoyed it. But >> I got the mind for it clearly. >> I'm 57, you know. >> I So am I. >> Yeah. But you have had a lot of You've come up through the clubs and you've done your proper >> It's fun. >> Yeah, >> it's fun. >> Maybe you figured out easy. >> Okay. You get the hang of it. Yeah, you get it. >> Yeah. Well, I do I I did enjoy it. It was nice. The thing I don't I I find it hard to get used to is is saying the same thing as if I've just thought of it. >> Right. >> I I like to >> you have to think about it. It's it's a it's a mindset. Yeah. >> So what you have to do is every time I think about every time I'm talking about a thing, I just only think about that thing. >> Yeah. >> I don't think oh my I'm saying this again the exact same way. >> Yeah. >> I know how to say it, but what I'm thinking about is that thing like genuinely thinking about that thing, >> right? So they know you're actually locked in. They people can tell. >> They can tell then you're saying the words but thinking about something else. >> They can tell. There's some there's a weird thing that's going on with comedy that's unressed. You can't measure it. Can't put it on a a scale. But there's a sense that people have that's not being addressed. Whatever it is, I don't think it's entirely visual. >> I think there's a feeling. >> Yeah. >> There's a vibe you get. So you know when someone's not bullshitting and that's that's why comedy works. And you miss that vibe on television unfortunately. It's weird >> like watching television standup comedy is like 60% of the actual show maybe 70%. Still great. You know when you you get a chance to see someone like David Tell who maybe don't get a chance to see in the clubs. Yeah. You've miss you haven't been able to see him live. Yeah. Or any of these guys. It's great. But
trust me, see him live >> and you'll be blown away. It's like it's like taking water out of your ears and now you can hear music. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> You get the whole thing. You get this thing that's going on where he's hypnotizing everybody. >> Yeah. Yeah. I I was lucky enough to see Chappelle a few times in London, you know, and that was a treat. >> Oh, that's great, too, cuz you've seen him in London, too. You're seeing him in an arena, so you're seeing him like with that polished lockown set. >> I saw him both ways. I saw him in in a small secret club as well because he was rehearsing a Saturday Night Live bit. >> Really special. >> He's the best. Such a good dude, too. He did something I've not seen him do since, which is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, which was uh uh uh uh who's the Johnny B. Good guitarist? Uh Chuck Chuck. Chuck Barry's sex tape. >> Oh yeah, >> that is so funny when he when he says, "I didn't even know Chuck Barry was in it until he appeared." >> Oh god, that was funny. He's he's like I love I love I I love him and he's been great throughout as well because he's been he's been someone who says the same stuff in a very funny way and and and expresses like you know he was >> he's a very thoughtful person. >> He's a very thoughtful person and he said that great thing where he said um I know trans rights activists make up words to win arguments and that's what it is. You know you call you call if you start calling real women sis women >> right >> then it's an easy way to disparrage them and to put them off. You know what I mean? So, yeah. Anyway, >> uh, is there a way to live a normal life for you right now? I mean, you're you're on this battlefield, this constant consistent battlefield. I mean, you must I'm I mean, asked before if you felt like it consumed you, but I mean, is there a way to >> Oh, no. Well, I'm over >> transition, for lack of better terms, >> I'm currently transitioning. Yeah. No, I I Rob Schneider uh who has just shown me incredible kindness and brought me over
to uh work on a few projects for him. >> Great. Something I always wanted to do anyway. I've always enjoyed uh uh film rewrites and stuff like that, you know. So, yeah. So, that's going to and that's helped me out because get it's getting me my visa is three years and my aim is to become so useful to the Americans that they won't let me go, you know. >> Well, hopefully this podcast will help. >> Hopefully. Hopefully. No, people realize how [ __ ] nutty it is over there. And this is what I was scared of over here when tech censorship was in full bloom. >> When what? Sorry. >> Tech censorship, right? >> Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, when people like Megan Murphy were banned for for life for saying a man can never be a woman. >> I was banned for the same thing. She she I said men aren't women though. And she was banned for saying men aren't women. >> Yeah. Nuts. Men aren't women though. Banned for life. And because and because Twitter banned me, that was again reported in the Guardian as if I've been harassing people. Yes. Twitter actually said he was misusing the platform >> and they never explained what that meant. >> Oh, you know, >> misusing. >> So, misusing everyone just thinks, "Oh, he was abusing people." >> Yeah. It's um it's insidious and it was all encompassing. There was no social media that was free of it. And the only places that were free of it for me feels like they got attacked. And this is what I mean by that. Like if you went over to any of those alternative places like Gab or any of these these, >> they were flooded with racism and xenophobia and homophobia and flooded in a way where I don't necessarily believe it's all organic. I think it's a great way to sabotage a platform that might attract like like if you wanted to have a platform if you wanted to if you were running a platform and your platform was incredibly leftwing full like fully censoring pertinent data that would help Trump or help the right-wing people if you were running that platform and also I don't know a new platform came about and a bunch of people were talking about jumping ship how hard would it be to just sabotage that platform and just start just the most horrible racist
things. You say it over and over and over again. Flood it. Flood it with hate. Flood it with terrible messages. Flood it with disinformation and bad bad faith arguments and and and just outright lies. You can do whatever you want. If you have a good computer, you have a good computer crew and that knows how to code things. You could use AI to push a specific narrative. They've already done it. like people have done, they they can crowdsource an attack on someone that's entirely bot created. Why wouldn't you do that where where there's a new social media platform? So, no social media platform got to exist that was free until Elon bought Twitter because what that by that move, which a lot of people don't appreciate for how spectacular the result was, what a big difference it made. >> Oh, it changed my life >> because no one everyone was addicted to Twitter already. Even the people that hated the idea that he was doing this and he was they were still going to use it. They're addicted. They're locked in. So you're it's genius really because And then you let it go buck wild. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And you watch people just freak the [ __ ] out. >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, I I notice a few things on on Twitter I don't like. I notice a few a little bit of uh um uh racism and all that. All these >> you notice a lot of that. There's a lot of that. I don't know how much of it's organic though. Yeah, >> some of it for sure is >> right. Right. I know. >> But I think there's a lot of fake arguments that are designed to keep people at each other's throats and distract from the greater issues that we all have to deal with. >> Yeah. >> I think that's a real strategy that's being used not just by people in the United States, but by people outside the United States on the United States. But the funny thing about it is you almost don't need to uh sabotage something to that extent because like like if you were to destroy a a country's ability to know right from wrong, truth from lies, >> right? >> All these things, what better way would there be of doing it than the trans
movement where you can't even accept the evidence of your own eyes and say that's a man or that's a woman? like like it is a destabilizing it's destabilizing western society you know and I think it will I think that type of thing could easily be weaponized against us you know >> well I think there's a certain value in destabilizing a certain amount of society you want to keep people weak you know you want to make it so that a revolution is very difficult to obtain >> yeah you know James Lindsay's theory about I love I find that a very compelling theory he he he said about what happened with Marxism and and so on in in the last 20 20 30 years is that they gave up trying to persuade working-class people to have a revolution because their lives were too good under capitalism. Right? No one wanted to to to be a revolutionary. Um so what happened uh he thinks was that all these Marxists all these left-wingers who really believed in the in the left-wing project or the communist project whatever you want to call socialist project um uh they all started um uh going into teaching and uh cultural uh places because they wanted to change of culture that way and it's been incredibly successful if that is true you know like >> well it makes sense. >> Yeah. Well, this is Yuri BZoff talked about that in the 1980s, >> right? >> He talked about using that on the American people that the work had already been done. He was saying in the 1980s. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think that's Lindsay's that's what Lindsay says. >> There's a lot of people that think that there's a lot of people that have went through that university system and then came out on the other side and try to be independent thinkers and realize how easy they get attacked. Yeah. >> And they just like there's something going on here. This is not logical. I'm worried about my my kids are going into university and half me wants to just protect them from it because, you know, like I know so many stories of people who went to university and came back with a trans identity, you know. Um uh so but you know, >> it's just easy to get indoctrinated in
any kind of a group. Yeah. >> You know, it's when you're a young person, you can get sucked in. Well, one of the one of the big problems I think is that it feels to me I don't know if it feels like this to you, but you know the 50s they call it the invention of the teenager, right? 60s 50s60s. So we had 50s60s then the 70s >> people started thinking of rock music as art and so on and and and and it continued like that for a while and it was always a very very healthy youth culture, right? Bowie is a good example. Okay. All his fans would go out dressed like, you know, in in in uh uh gender non-conforming ways, you know. Now there's no figures like Bowie. You know, what we have instead are is a political ideology instead of the old days where it used to be music culture where you could take your personality and and find your tribe and throw yourself into a culture, right? That doesn't seem to exist to the same extent that it did for kids. I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem there doesn't seem to be like who who who's I I believe recently there was it was the first time in forever that or I think the first time since there were charts maybe that there was no band in the charts, right? There's no actual musical band. It was all it was all individuals, you know. >> So, you know, the whole thing about bands, about being in a gang, all that cool stuff, it's gone. And in >> Do you think that's a side effect of social media? Yeah, definitely. Because why, you know, >> because you don't have to find your tribe in like a physical form where you all get together and enjoy something together, you know, like >> insane clown posi. They all go and they have >> Yeah. >> They're they're crazy. What is that called again? >> They get together. >> Gathering of the jugos. >> Gathering of the jugos. That's it. Yeah. They they go crazy. They get together. They they like they call it family. Like they feel like they're around other misfits and they feel great. and and a lot, you know, one thing I definitely want to make clear is is when I'm talking about trans activists being evil and so on. I'm really not I'm not
talking about all of them. You know, there's a lot of good people who are mixed up with this and they see their trans friend and they they they their trans friend is lovely and they want to protect them and think that, you know, people like me are hateful and and will never accept them as human beings and so on. That's not the case at all. It's it's it's the ideology. It's the ideology. It's a lot of trans activists. But as for trans people themselves, it's a whole range of different people with different. >> Yeah. Yeah. You know, >> in all walks of life. But the problem with it as a movement is they won't call out the bad actors, you know, and they have if they're if they're going to basically my friend Arty Morty, who is a gay guy, Canadian gay guy, you know, he says the only reason that uh gay rights got accepted is because when Nambla, right, the North American manboy love association and pi pie in the UK, the pedophile information exchange, the similar groups, but like I always thought pedophile information exchange. They possibly shouldn't have called themselves the pedophile information exchange. >> The manboy love association isn't any better. >> Bit of a giveaway, you know. >> But anyway, um these two organizations started to argue that uh uh pedophiles were should be a protected class just like you know gay people and um gay people ejected them very loudly, very clearly and said we don't want to have anything to do with that. You know, and unfortunately the same thing isn't happening at the moment. There has to be a move from >> But that all happened before the internet. >> Yeah. Yeah. You're set. >> No, I think that's what it is, man. I think it's just the fear of being attacked >> is so strong for people that they just never man up. >> Yeah. >> For lack of a better term. But but but there is also a huge reluctance to like one of the thing one of the reasons it's ironic that I get called toxic is one of the very first things I did in this fight was I signed a letter uh to
Stonewall the big gay organization in the UK asking them could they recognize that there's a plurality of beliefs in this issue and could we all work together to reduce the toxicity right so I signed this letter along with a bunch of other people >> they said No, within the day they said no and cast us all as bigots again, you know. >> So, it's like there's a problem with gay legacy gay organizations. They have to be rided of all these people who can't answer biological questions, you know. They have to be because they're endanger they're endangering the whole cause of gay rights. Like however many years, what is it now 60 68? So, uh, 30 55 over maybe 60 years of gay rights, okay? And they're in danger of throwing it all away because of their sudden obsession about a bunch of straight people, you know, cuz most trans transidentified men are straight, you know, all these >> bananas. >> All these trans men, these young girls going on to gay apps, they're straight. They're straight women, you know. It is bananas. Well, listen, Graham. Uh, I'm sorry all this happened to you, but I'm glad that we could have a a place where you could tell your story because your story is it's very eye opening and uh this is not what we'd want from a polite, respectable, and even a progressive society, especially from a guy like you. >> No, thank you. I really appreciate it. >> My pleasure. I'm glad we got to do this. Let's do it again in the future when you've won your court case. >> I forgot to bring my book. >> I got your book at home. It's right by my bed. I just started it. >> Okay. Okay. >> I I appreciate you very much, man. It's called Tough Crowd. >> Tough Crowd. Thank you. >> Um you can get it on Amazon. You can get the uh Kindle version of it. You can get the version of it that has audio, Audible. >> Yeah. I'm There it is. Oh, thank you. I'm read book. >> I'm uh I'm I'm also on Twitter at Glenn. I'd like to get back some of my 400,000 followers that I left. >> How do you spell what is it? Oh, Glenn. G L I N E R. That's your Twitter.
>> That's my Twitter name as well. Yeah. >> Go for it. All right. Thanks, brother. I appreciate you. >> Thank you. All right. Bye, everybody. Bye-bye. [Music] [Applause] [Music]
